Resending Post Data?

[cooldude832]

I think I can do this, but I want to make sure.

 

I have a page that loads a calendar via POST (It can't be done with GET so don't suggest that)

after you update some bookings it processes via POST and I want to return it back to the calendar page, but the page is set to purposely not load if it doesn't know what Year, Month, and the Location it needs to be querying for.  How can I reset this data, I thought of sending the user back in the browser, but I don't know how that would work as I can't envoke php going backwards.

 

I could write a note saying please go back in your browser and refresh, but I want a better solution.

session i guess is the solution

I thought about this, I'd just have to reset the sessions each time, I think i'll try that

I did this on the calendar page

<?php
if(empty($_POST['condo_id'])){
$id = $_SESSION['rental'];
$carry_month = $_SESSION['month'];
$carry_year = $_SESSION['year'];
}
else{
$id = $_POST['condo_id'];
$carry_month = $_POST['month'];
$carry_year = $_POST['year'];
}
?>

and on the processor

<?php
$_SESSION['year'] = $_POST['year'];
$_SESSION['rental'] = $id;
$_SESSION['month'] = $_POST['month'];
header("location: condo_date.php");
?>

which is working fine.  Any issues??

sessions are best bet, or you could echo the post information into a hidden form, then have the update link submit the form using javascript (javascript:document.form.submit()), that would work too, but not as efficiently as sessions.

well i do repass em with hidden inputs, but then i register sessions it works so thats all i care
