Sure it "works"
It's just not useful in the context of this thread :-)
How do you know to unset it the second time when they hit "refresh" (aka
"reload") though?
I should have said "won't solved that specific problem"
You can change $_POST all you want, but it doesn't change that fact that
that's what the browser *sent* to you.
To reliable detect a "reload" of a page, you need to somehow change
something in between "load" and "reload" and you have to tie it to that
user, filling in that form, at that time.
There's no easy way to do that unless *YOU* somehow notate each FORM you
send out, and then mark it as "used" when it comes back.
