My typical setup for a form-page probably looks like this:
if ( $_POST )

If I wanted the user back on the same form page, but still with a
"thank
you" message, I'd still do a 303, but use $_SESSION to indicate that
the user needs a "thank you" message displayed.
Just to play devils advocate and to try and understand things
better...
Is there any reason you couldn't do a simple:
$formsubmitted= true;
if($formsubmitted = true){
Thank you for giving the bad guys your credit card number
hahahahahah!
}else{
echo <<<HTML
<P>Give me your credit card number or I'll force you to eat raw spam
all day!</P><input type="text" name="txtCC"
}
Or something like that :)
Because if the user reloads that page you'll process the form again,
which could have any number of nasty effects from creating a duplicate
row in the database to charging a credit card again. It also causes a
potentially confusing confirmation request to be displayed to the user.
