Re: back-button question

The general rule is to create or maintain every page on your server of what you what the client to see. Then send it for every submit. That way you don't have to worry about satisfying every browser and configuration there is. Πρεκατές Αλέξανδρος wrote:

I'a writing first time so sorry if i reapeat but i wanted to say this in my own words and angle. My question is : Lets assume that we'r going throught php/html files a-----> b ------> c

        |<--------|

1)From a to b through a link 2)from b to c through a submit button (post method) 3) c is a php script which does some mysql queries and changes some session variables and outputs a location header to return to b. While back in b we press the back button when back button is pressed my icewiesel browser gets me to 'a' page. Trying to find some sense i postulated that a browser holds in its history (for back/forward) only requests made explicitly by the user and not the ones made from withing php files (with header commands) . Is my theory right.. I'm searching in the broader context of trying to control how my bookstore website will react to random events from the user (back/forward, links etc) while in a middle of a series of php files that i want to act as a transaction. Any help- recommendations for study on the subject would be very welcomed. I have 3 books on mysql/php but that issues r not examined, Prekates Alexandros Trikala Greece
