PHP header() question about resubmit warning on refresh

[BioBob]

I know I saw this on these forums recently how to do this, but there is a trick, I think its with header() cache-control: private or something but I dont remember.  Basically on a form page, if its refreshed, isnt there a way to set teh header so Internet Exploder doesnt prompt to resubmit the form data?

 

"To display the webpage again, Internet Explorer needs to resend the information you've previously submitted.

 

If you were making a purchase, you should click Cancel to avoid a duplicate transaction.  Otherwise, click Retry to display the webpage again."

 

Might not even be a php thing, could be html but im fairly sure it has something to do with headers...

I think you can just use

header('location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

or whatever address you want to go to.

Basicly what Im trying to do is to resubmit data without getting prompted by IE every time I hit refresh.  Not a redirect.  Doest that make more sense?

Oh yeah, I know what you mean.  That may just be a browser security thing...You'd probably have better luck on the Microsoft FAQs or something, unless someone has experience with it.  But most people hate overstepping browser security (if it's possible) because it often means that they need to alter something ELSE for it to play nice with other browsers.
