Q695 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 When you log in once, it asks you if you want to log in again, when you refresh the logged in page.

haku Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Add a check at the top of your script to see if the person is logged in or not. If they are, then instead of the login form, output a message that says 'you are already logged in' or something.

haku Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Now we are getting somewhere. To prevent this, you need to put your processing script on a different page than the form. After the processing is finished, you use a header call that forwards the user to another page. In this way, if they refresh, they are only refreshing the page they have been forwarded to, and if they click back, they are taken to the page with the form, not the page with the processing.
