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.

Page Has Expired, BACK-button -problem
I have Windows XP&IE6.0.2... (SP1). I'm coding one project with PHP. I get "Warning: Page has Expired" when I try to get back to the "POSTed page" (page whither moved from FORM-page). Better explanation: - Pages are: * Page A: Front-page * Page B: Page where is www-FORM #1.) From Page "A" I move to the page "B" by clicking link on page "A" and I fill the form's fields #2.) Then I click SUBMIT-button and I moved back to the page "A" #3.) I move to the page "B" by clicking link on page "A" #4.) I click "BACK"-button from browser #5.) I got "Warning: Page has Expired" I want that when I click BACK, I will be moved to the page "A" straightly without warning (of course then post-data can't get re-sent) Got any idea how in PHP I can prevent this warning?

Sometimes it tells me that page expired but if I reload the page everything is ok and all my "security" pages are available.

"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?

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.

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.

Preventing Visitors Ability To "re-visit" A Page Via The "back Button"..
I have a rather complex registration/member sign up form.. which gets a little confused, when a visitor "backs" completely out of the form, then for whatever reason returns to the form. The form contains 'cancel' buttons, which naturally cancel the reg process and redirects them to the document just before they started. JS provides us with the "location.replace()" method, but I can't seem to find a way to coordinate the use of location.replace() with the posting of the form values. In short, I want to "replace" the first step of the form with the "second step". I think what's making this tricky, is that each step of the form are located within the "same" page (register.php). The document works like so: The first step is the "Member Agreement" when they click "agree" (submit) the system creates a new row in the temporary register table of the db. It then issues a registration cookie, which carries the row id, and session value. in addition (for those cookie impared users) we carry the row id and session value in hidden elements. So far, as long as the user continues through the process all is fine, but if they (for whatever reason) back all the way out, and click 'agree' again, the process fails. I guess I have to find a way to force a reload of the 1st step "if they've gone back" OR "replace()" the first step with the second, so as to prevent the user from going "back" to the 1st step of the register page.

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 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?

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.

When I refresh the webpage the form is blank, From what I gathered from this forum, I should switch from post to get, which I tried but also didn't work. I need my customers to be able to go back and forth if then need to. I did not design the cart, and the program says my request can't be done, but I shop a lot on line and have always be able to back up and go forward without loosing the information I entered. My darn cart erases everything and I know darn well I am going to lose a lot a business as a result of frustrated shoppers.

Now, when the user hits the back button: "Warning Page has Expired" is what they get. Why is that?

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.
