Post the same script

[Anon]

I have php script that uses a button to post to the same script like in the example bellow:

--------------Main.html--------------------

<a href=script.php3>Main</a>

The user calls the script.ph3 that makes insertions and selections by calling itself.

But when I call it the second time I can't go back with browser back button directly to main.html, I see that for each input it generates one form with the the script action modifications from the last input.

Based on this, I tried to discover something about that doing a tested with a html file.

I tested the html file doing a call from a input (with post method) using it to call itself. It happens that it worked fine, not creating several forms behind. In fact PHP should work the same way. If I am calling the same script it should always make the changes in the same file, and not create a file for each input in background.

I am looking for a solution for this case.
If you would like more information, please tell me.

i think you got something there, i tried it with a content manager page i created and it did the same thing.
using GET to post info will create a new cached copy cos the url has in effect changed, but not using POST, even submitting the form empty gave a new copy.
if you have a solution it would be interesting to hear it

if there were some function stop the browser doing that by cleaning the data before submiting again would could be a solution. Another solution could be having two different scripts and the second one would return to the first through header().

I did the same test with a simple script using get method and it just didn't did a form replication. But using more complex scripts that makes selections and insertions it keeps insisting on doing that.
