This did not occur on my regular not-secure web server. Page caching. You can alter that through the header() function. But, a cleaner way handle user validation problems is to reprint the form and data on the present page. I like to have both the initiating form and the form validation take place in the same script. Put the form itself in a function or an include file. The form should use PHP variables in the value. If there are validation problems, tell the user what's up and have the script re-display the form and the data they just entered will be filled in! An example of such an input element would be... <input type="text" name="foo" value="<?php echo $foo; ?>" /> Enjoy, --Dan -- PHP scripts that make your job easier http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/ SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Ave, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
