Is there any reason you couldn't do a simple: $formsubmitted= true; if($formsubmitted = true){ Thank you for giving the bad guys your credit card number hahahahahah! }else{ echo <<<HTML <P>Give me your credit card number or I'll force you to eat raw spam all day!</P><input type="text" name="txtCC" } Or something like that :)My typical setup for a form-page probably looks like this: if ( $_POST ) {If I wanted the user back on the same form page, but still with a "thank you" message, I'd still do a 303, but use $_SESSION to indicate that the user needs a "thank you" message displayed.// do POST processing header(303 thankyou.html). exit}
