Prevent Script from appearing in history

[omtay38]

I've got a lengthy form being submitted via POST to a php script (lets call it 'process-form.php'. The script then processes the data and, based on the data, should redirect to a different page via:

 

if (some-condition == some other condition)
{
   header("Location:/some-page.php");
   exit();
}

 

I've got all sort of protections in place on process-form.php to prevent direct access (redirect if request is not a POST, check for unique ID through $_SESSION). However, the script still shows up in the web browser history.

 

I was wondering if there was a way to even prevent this? Some modification of the 'header();' function?

 

Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks!

As far as I know there is no way to prevent that. However doing the redirect after data submital, should erase the post data. So even if they go back it should not duplicate the data.

 

But the history deal, I do not think is possible. If it is, you would have to use JavaScript I am sure to accomplish that.

Would using the PHP refresh function work?

No, it's a browser thing...there's pretty much nothing that can be done about it.
