Actually you do have a point. I didn't think about exit()
I can surely use this, and the connection overhead is not of a major
concern to me - definitely no more then displaying the newly inserted
row - at the same time I would like *not* to abandon a search for an
even better code if possible. Unless there doesn't exist any
alternates, which still stumps me.
Thanks!

No, it really doesn't. A redirect should be followed with an exit() to
stop execution after the Location header is passed, so you don't need
to send all the "heavy text" or the IMG tags to embed the images, and
most client browsers will stop rendering the page as soon as they see
this header and therefore won't request the "heavy images" in any
event. Granted, there is still the connection overhead caused by an
additional request.
In theory, the header() statements for not using cache should have
worked -
I'm not sure why they are working. Even Googling the loading from
cache
problem gives those statements in various places.

It works for me on a project I'm working on.
(I hope this doesn't get lost in all the top posting on this thread.)
