wont work?



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.

I have another little question hehe :D, i have a page with a form


where


the user insert data and can click in a new,edit or delete button.


I've


make that when a button is clicked the page refresh and in the head of
the page i have conditions like this: if ($_POSt["buttonNew"]!="") {
insert commands.. } , etc

My question is, how can i unset $_POST["buttonNew"] or leave it empty
because when the user refresh the page make insert commans again


because


the $_POST["buttonNew"] arent empty.


The POST data is sent by the browser, so you can't really alter that...

But you can bury an http://php.net/md5 or other random token in the
FORM,
and put that token in a table in your database, and then on the first
POST, you mark that token as "used"

On the second POST, a re-load, you can detect that the token was "used"
and do whatever you want.  Re-direct the user, ignore them completely,
give them an error message, blow up their computer.  Well, okay, you can
do almost whatever you want.
