Back Button On Your Browser
My question is based around back button on your browser . Currently I have a form that feeds it's information into a MySql database. I give my users the ability to add, edit, and delete entries. Because of this I use actions on my submit button, ( if action=edit) {blah blah blah} else blah blah If a users make and addition everything is fine, butif they press the back button, the action is carried out again. (because the action is in the url (www.blahhblah.com/form.php?action=add) this puts duplicate entries into the database, which is easy to fix, but annoying. Is there a way with PHP to force the timeout page everytime they try to re-enter the form from their back button?

Sessions And Browser Back Button
I originaly wrote a script that passed variables from script to script via query strings. When I did that, the user was able to use the back button to go back to previous pages and change form inputs. Then I changed my scripts to use session variables to get rid of the long query strings. Now, when the user hits the back button: "Warning Page has Expired" is what they get. Why is that?

Unable To Use The Back Button On The Browser
On my site, which uses sessions to log in and track users, if the back button on the browser is used the page times out and says you have to hit the refresh button to refresh the page you were trying to get back to. Not very user friendly, anybody have any ideas why?? There is a function called do_authentication that is called at the top of every page to check the user has logged in and has the appropriate rights. I don't think it is to do with the sessions though as if you hit the refresh buttin on the page with the error you are allowed back to the page you were trying to get to?

Trapping The Browser Back Button
I'm working on a web application that consists of two PHP files. The first is intended to do all the display work based on SESSION variables. The second file processes all of the _GET and _POST data, sets the necessary SESSION data then redirects to the first page. This process seems to work well while operating the application, but fails miserably when the user uses the Back button on the browser. Since the application bases it's state on SESSION variables, the Back button has no effect at all.

Shopping Cart Navigation And Back Button Browser
I am building a shopping cart where the user adds items to his shopping cart and shippes some to himself and others to someone else as a gift. I do the following thing, First let the user fillout his info and I ask him to check which items does he want to send to himself. Once he hit submit button I do the following. 1) I process which poduct does he want to ship to himself. Then I remove those products from the shopping cart. 2) Then if he has items in his shopping cart remaining I display address form and checkboxes asking user to check all items that he want to ship to this address. then I repeat step 2 until the user has no more items in his shopping cart. when he has no items I will display billing page. Here is my problem if user hits back button in the browser and then enters submit button I have not items in the shoppingcart since I removed them from his shopping cart the first time he processed his form. So how do I deal with back button in the browser. I have no idea how to it when I have multiple forms.

I am a problem with I logout from my site. When I push log out link I send it to a new page with this script in this: <?php session_start(); session_unregister($SESSION); session_destroy(); unset($SESSION);?> In each page I have this other script #accesscontrol.php <? session_start(); if (session_is_registered("SESSION")!= FALSE ) # ya la sesion existe entonces la cargo { #Maybe I use after. } else {echo "<h1>Sorry...</h1>"; echo "<A href = "index.php"><H4> Login Univernet</H4> </A>"; session_destroy(); exit;}?> The problem is when I log out and press the back button I am back to the pages. Sometimes it tells me that page expired but if I reload the page everything is ok and all my "security" pages are available.

Pressing Browser Back Button - Form Filled Data Disappeared
When filling out a web form on a php page that is submitted to a search which lists the results based on the criteria provided (in the form), all works fine and as expected. However, when I press the back button to amend the form all of the search criteria data has gone and I have to fill it all out again if I want to do a similar search which is frustrating. (This does not actually happen in Firefox browser but most of my users will be using IE). How can I prevent this from happening? Previously I made a post about avoiding "Page has expired" and the conclusion I came to for that was not to use a "POST" which did the trick. But now I want to retain the data I input?

"Warning: Page Has Expired" - How To Aviod When Using Browser Back Button?
In summary: I want to a form to submit information via a HTTP POST, however, when using Internet Explorer I want to be able to use the back button and all the information retained. Presently we get a "Page has expired" message. How can we avoid this? Full details: Having searched for postings on how to avoid the "Page has Expired" they are numerous, however, I have not found one that answers the question adequately. Hence this posting. One posting directed me to the following webpage: http://in.php.net/session_cache_limiter but I played around with "session_cache_limiter()" and it did not give the desired results. (It seem to make no difference). Also many people say to use HTTP GET instead but this is not an option in this case. Where can I find concise definitive information on how to avoid "Warning: Page has Expired" and allow the user to press the back button and see the form as it was before they submitted it?

Back Button Problem
On my development site: http://beta.deluxeportal.com/index.php I'm having some strange problems with the back button... For example, if you try posting and leave out a message, you get an error. You can press back to return to the posting page. This is how it works on most pages, and this is what I want. However, on a very select number of pages (the login page, and the search page), if you get the error message and press back, you still get the screen with the error message. Then, the next time you press back, you are completely taken out of the page. I haven't been able to figure this out, as I can't see anything that makes those pages different from the others.

Back Button And Sessions
When I create a session-based site and hit the back button I get this error: Warning: Page has Expired The page you requested was created using information you submitted in a form. This page is no longer available. As a security precaution, Internet Explorer does not automatically resubmit your information for you.

Catching The 'Back' Button
I'm wondering if there's a way to catch when the user clicks the 'Back' button from a specific page. When this happens, I need to run a system call that deletes everything in a session-specific directory. The systems call would look something like this: system('rm -r /home/websites/genework/html/DATA/'.$Sess_ID.'/*'); So, the only thing left is the snag involving the catch of the 'Back' button. Javascript has a way to catch this action (window.onbeforeunload), but the tap-dancing that would be required to get PHP to activate the system call is extremely ugly and I'm not even sure it'd work.

Back Button Dilemma

This means that other users that visit the "directory view" page will not be given the option to edit that file. Code:

Page If Back Button
I have a php page which is a sign up page, once signup is finished the user is redirected to a new page. Sometimes (and it's rare) the user hit's the back button and then re-submits the form etc. I mean like I said it's rare but still bothers me, so on the last page I kill all the sessions. Which only works if the user hits the back button but the page is refreshed. So basically I want to know if it's possible that when the back button is hit to refresh a php page?

Back Button Resubmitting Sql
I click the back button, it looks like my mysql queries are running again. It's like the previous page isn't cached and it's rerunning all the queries. Is this a setting I need to set in mysql, php or apache? For instance if a page has a "select * FROM table ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 5" and I go to the next page. When I click back a new set of 5 will show up. I want it to be the same page that was created before.

File Upload And Back Button
what I really need to do is make a page that allows a person upload up to 9 pictures without breaking the back button. How on Earth do I achieve this? Every time I've ever written something to achieve a file upload it's always broken the back button, in that if you click back you always get that annoying box asking you if you want to send the POST data. I've tried hidden frames and that had the same problem, and I **COULD** have it upload in a new window but I'd like to avoid that as most people have popup blockers.

Button Back And Session Expired
I've all my site in PHP with POST method, for avoiding most user see what's appening in the variables I pass trough the pages. (as some info shouldn't be visible for most users). What appens when I push the "return" button is an error message telling the "page has expired". I know this is a problem with the POST method, as I've seen thousand thread about this, but I can't change my code. So it's there any way to let this message disappear, maybe working with the header of the pages.

Preventing Back Button Press
I am making a form which has name and code (captcha image) as fields to be entered. I have given a timeout of x so if the form is submitted after x secs then it will print timeout and also used a token verification. If the user submits a data then processing is fine. But when he presses the back button of browser and submit again then the captcha image remains same. [but changes when the form is refreshed] So the user in this case submits the form presses back and then submits the form and floods my database with same data again and again.

Browser Back After POST
I got an annoying problem using the POST-method to send a form's data: I put a login-form on the page which is sent by the POST-method to itself. After that the content of the POST-variables will be checked (!empty($_SESSION['xyz'])) and the rest of the page included. In order to show some informations (e.g. "Welcome John Doe") and becoming independent of specific POSTs, the data is also written to SESSION-variables. Now if I go to another page (by link) and after that back to the login-page by the browser's "back"-button, it cannot be displayed ("The page cannot be displayed..."). Only if I actualize the page it is displayed regularly. I know that this problem doesn't appear by using the GET-method, but because of security reasons I have to use POST. So what can I do to fix that problem? I don't want to disable the browsers back-button (or use some JavaScript).

$HTTP_REFERER On Browser Back
I'm using HTTP_REFERER to see what pages are being looked at before a member of my site comes to my HOME page. HTTP_REFERER works perfectly if the previous pages viewed are linked to the HOME page and they use the link to get to it. However, if they type in the address of the HOME page into the browser or scroll backwards or forwards to the HOME page the HTTP_REFERER does not work. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or what I can do?

Back Button, Page Expired, GET And POST
I have read you can solve the back button problem with the page expiration by using GET method instead of POST. When I use the GET method with form data, it doesn't work. I have a page with a dropdown submitting to a page getting the variable via POST. Then it links to another page, and I want them to be able to come back to the second page. When I use GET instead of POST I get an error.

Refresh Page After Hitting Back Button
I have a page with Dropdowns that are linked to a database. After selecting one of the options and going to the next page, it will display the results of that dropdown item as pulled from the database. If a user hits the back button, then selects a different option and hits "submit", what is listed is the results of the first selection AND the results of the second selection. Is there a way to either: 1. Refresh the page upon hitting the back button on the browser 2. upon hitting the back button, the browser forgets the selection previouslly made.

Breaking The BACK Button (Refresh Problem)
I have a php page which serves up multiple pages based on how the user interacts with it - there are links on the first page that will reload (from the same php file) a new page with form fields and submit buttons, and when a user posts from that new page (or cancels), then the same php file is again loaded, detecting how the user responded and generating the appropriate html for whatever should be none next. All very typical. What I want to know is, is there a way so that once a user has posted from some submit button from one page (we'll say he Cancel's from a page that had a form Cancel button so he returns to the original non-form default page generated from the php file), can it be made so if the user then "refreshes" the new page (hits the Refresh or Reload browser button) he does NOT get the browser's "The page cannot be refreshed without resending the information. Click Retry to send the information again, or click Cancel to return to the page that you were trying to view." dialog? In other words, what I'd like is a way to have the browser think that there was no posting done (even though there was) once I've generated this certain 'home' page with my php code, so that user ReLoad's of the page won't get this warning. This is probably related also to problems I've had with "breaking the BACK button" on sequences of php pages: if the user BACK's up to a page that was generated by a post, it may not even be possible to regenerate the original page.

Hitting The Back Button Displays Last Search
I have a website where people can perform searches. Once they find what they're looking for they can click the link and get more details on an item. The problem I'm having is that people read the details and then hit the back button. Here they get a message warning them how the browser needs to resubmit the data that was entered in the search form or they're sent back to the search page. How can I cache the search terms or search results so if the person hits the back button they get the results of the previous search and not a message or are not sent back to the search page?
