Come now, let's not be so dramatic. :P

"hassle of re-direct":

<?php

  header("Location: http://fq.dn/page.ext";);

?>

"programming logic bouncing from script to script":

It would be the same logic/handling of the form, just split across two
pages. Not really much changing is necessary. Except of course that you
will have to send data back to the form page via the querystring should
you have the need (i.e. form errors).


Not trying to knock you or the MD5 solution you offered. Just thought
you made the two page solution sound scarier than it really is.
