RE: [PHP] Prefilled forms

The Problem again: I have a form, I fill it, click submit and then hit back. Usually in other sites I see the data that I attempted to submit. Forms originating from my site are coming up blank. In respnonse to your reply: I am using mozilla 5 or netscape 7. Same result in both. However, this doesn't happen with other sites using the same borwser ... Actually this never happened with my last configuration. ONly now that I reinstalled apache/php and actually linux that I am getting this behaviour from my own server only. I am suspecting a php.ini setting that I have set or set off or an apache conf detail that is causing this. Bowser setting is a possibility but why then is it not behaving this way with other sites? --- Jay Blanchard <jay.blanchard@niicommunications.com> wrote: > [snip] > I don't think you understood my question.
