Re: Update a SESSION_VAR on form submit

If I hit reload and re-post the same data, you'll need to detect that somehow... Put a unique HIDDEN variable in your FORM, log it to the database when you see it, and if you see it a second time, don't increment $Stage. The other possiblity is to use: <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=Stage VALUE=<?php echo $Stage + 1;?>> Any reload will simply pass back the same old Stage the browser got in the first place. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
