What the heck are you talking about and why is "Browser Refresh & Back/Forward Button" capitalized? Is that the name of a band or something??? > So does anyone know of a good sample code to help this out?

Well first of all you shouldn't be writing the same code over and over in a page. If you find yourself needing the same code on multiple pages that's where includes come in. You write the functions or code snippets necessary to get the job done and then you include it on each page. <?php include "fancy_stuff.php"; ?> > Beside I don't really have an concept of writing a good > "Refresh/Back/Forward" detections script. Are you trying to process a form a something and you want to prevent the browser from processing the form when the user clicks the back button? If that's the case I have a solution for you. The way I get around this is to have two separate pages that display and process the form. The first page displays the form and the second page processes it. When the second page is done processing the form it will redirect the user to wherever they need to go next. The second page never becomes a part of the browsers history so the user can click the back/refresh buttons all they want and the form will not be processed more than you want it to be. Actually that's not totally true because the user could go back and resubmit the form. hth, Chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
