Hi, Another way is to use a variable in session. Session will be maintained at server. so php will take care of it. <?php session_start(); //put no-cache headers. if($_POST) { if($_SESSION['alreadyPosted']!=true) { //post operations with the form textbox value. $_SESSION['alreadyPosted']=true; } //first time sess var will be false, so script executes //from next time, sess var is true, so script will not execute. } //form html echo '<form .. >'; if(!$_SESSION['alreadyPosted']) echo $_POST['textboxValue']; echo '<input .. textbox><submit button> etc'; echo '</form>'; ?> Bye, Manda Krishna Srikanth http://www.krishnasrikanth.com php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote on 11/27/2007 12:31:53 AM: > Hi, > If i understood correctly there is no short answer to this, as > refreshing the page is exactly same as sending the parameters again > by clicking on submit. > One thing you can do is sending the parameters by POST method , this > way the user will be promted to confirm they want to refresh, > If this is not the sol, than you can while printing also send an > extra hidden variable like refresh at the first time on submit > button operation. > <input type="hidden" name="refresh" value="1"> > If this is set during the refresh operation show some error message. > Hope this helps if not pl. ask again. > Thanks > -- > Regards, > Abhishek jain > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Anand Vijaya Kumar <anandvijayakumar@xxxxxxxxx> > To: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 5:12:00 PM > Subject: How to avoid the text box value to be printed > when I click on IE Browser refresh button? > > I would appreciate if someone could throw some light on this issue. > > I have a form with a text box and a submit button.
