Why do some pages repeat a previous page's action(s) after redirect?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
 
I have a form page and a processing page. After submitting the form the
processing page does whatever it needs to do (insert a record, send back
validation errors, etc.) After determing what to do it always redirects
somewhere with header('Location: URL');

But sometimes when I'm back at the form page (after the redirect) and I
refresh the page it does the previous page's actions again. And again
and again.

Why would it do that? Shouldn't a refresh just resubmit whatever is in
the address bar and not go through a certain path?

The only way I've found to make it stop redoing the previous page's
actions is to put my cursor in the address bar and press enter.

I don't remember seeing this behavior in the past so I wonder if it has
something to do with Apache's or PHP's configuration.
 
 
Thanks,
Chris.
