Re: IE/ IIS / PHP - Form posted twice in case of redirection

Hello Dan, Thank you very much for your suggestion. There are workarounds but I am trying to find out why it is happening. I think not many use IIS and PHP for development or hosting and I was trying to find if anyone else too faced this problem and could find out why it was happening.

Sukhwinder,

I would suggest trying something simple like adding a variable to see if your page posted. Then, if it has run a simple Javascript function to redirect your page. <head> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function redirect() { location.replace(http://URL); } //--> </script> </head> <?php $redirect = $_POST['redirect']; if ($redirect == "Y") { ?> <body onload="redirect()"> <?php } else { ?> <body> <?php } ?> <form name="MyForm" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="Y"> <ALL YOUR OTHER FORM DATA HERE> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </body> So, by default the value of $redirect will be "". Once you put data into your form and submit it, the value of $redirect will be "Y" in which case the Javascript function will be called and send you to your other page. Hopefully that helps. Dan
