Hi Grant..
I've tested it and it doesn't resubmit this information a second time.
I have a page called submit.php where users can upload pictures. Once they submit, it goes to submitpics.php for processing and creates a session. Then it's redirected to submit.php which reads the session and destroys it after it read it. All in all, it is as if submitpics.php never existed.

Hi
I did actually encounter that problem. However, wouldn't redirecting properly still allow the user to resubmit the information using the back button? I solved this problem a different way by setting and clearing session variables on entry and exit to a series of pages.
