Why is that? I do it all the time and it seems to work fine. I have read through all the emails for this thread and didn't find anything mentioned. Am I doing something wrong?
No, you're doing it right. If you don't do a redirect and someone tried to come _back_ to a page that was POSTed to, they'll have to refresh it to see it again (rePOST the data).
This is why the "middle-man" technique is so popular. You POST to a PHP page that handles processing and then redirects to a page to show the user. This way there's no need to refresh when/if the user comes back to it.
Keep in mind I'm jumping into the middle of this thead as I just resubscribed. :)
