Refreshing page

[MartinH]

Hi.

I have records from a database listed in a page. At the bottom of the page, there is a form for input of new data to the database. The form is posted to the page itself and it is working so far. My new records are inserted and shown in the list when I submit the form.
But if I now leave the page and return to it again within the same session, the records I have inserted in this session is now not shown. If I then refresh the page they are there.
What can I do about that?
Also if I refresh the page before leaving it after insert, my new record is inserted again even if I choose cancel to the warning about it from IE.

Hmmm...
Depending on how you access the page again (back-button?), this may be a result of the browsers caching.
Try this to prevent the browser from caching your page:

header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Pragma: no-cache");

For the second problem:
A way to avoid double inserts is to do them on top of script (before any output), then relocate the client back to the same page:

## Do inserts here ##

## Relocate ##
header("Location:".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."");
## Output page & result ##

Thanks!

It's working just perfect.
