ober Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 The best way to avoid these errors is to submit to a "middle page". Your form submits to a secondary page that performs the processing and then uses a header() call to redirect back to the starting page or onto the thank you page or wherever you want to go.That's the only true way to avoid this problem.

mark s Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 I see what you mean, But i'm still curious?For example myphp adminfor controling your databases.When working in php admin control panel,it works the way i would love to be able to reproduce.You can see the Actions / requests being done,but in the staus bar only.The top address bar remains static.You can sort the contents accending or disacending if you click onthe colom name at the top of your table in browse mode.So its not a "Button" it is a link.I know it looks like a frame to the left listing your DB Tables.Does Php Admin use java script or do they just have it sussed?Can anyone enlighten me please,as i'm sure many could benifit from advice given.Thanks in advance mark.
