[SOLVED] Form reposting

[xenophobia]

Let say I have 2 php file:

a.php : a form that let users to fill up.

b.php : where data are processed from a.php.

 

So after user fill up in a, the page will redirect to b. So my question is is there a way that prevent user to refresh/repost the form once they reach in b.php.

Because once users click the refresh button in the browser in b.php, the whole process will repeated with same data. Which is very bad.

 

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Keep form in a.php

 

Do process in b.php

 

and after process redirect to c.php.

 

I mean process in b.php and show thank you or any other message or other activity at c.php.

Oh that's work. Even I haven't try, but the logic flow should be ok.

 

Thanks!

Could you do something like this? It eliminates a page and gives more control over the user "experience"

 

<?php

if(!$_POST['name_of_submit_button'])
{
   //Show Form Here
}
else
{
/* 
process form here and redirect to another page with all thank you's and such... that will make it so if the refresh button is hit, you are done with all the post data and it will simply refresh to the page you redirected to
*   

*/
}
?>
