Refresh

neque

I was wondering if there is a way I could fix a refresh problem were it resends the data. I've been looking around and it seems the best apoach is a redirect, but the only problem with that is it'd have to redo all my code a second time and since my web page is a game it has a lot of lines of code to go through and I'd rather not bog the server down by doing the same code twice. I could perhaps make a file inbetween that does the code, but that would slow down the run time and I'm not sure if the refresh is important enough to do that. Does anybody else have an idea of what I can do? I have access to sessions and cookies if need be.

Is it some how possible to send a variable every time something is submited, but not have it in the form instead have it at some global level? I'd think I could do it easily if this was possible.

what are you actually trying to do..

im sure you wont need to reload the page again.. but what exactly are you trying to do..

I want to be able to code something that would stop them from hitting refresh or at least do something else if they did hit refresh. I kind of like how phpmyadmin did it. When you hit refresh, you just go to the main page, but they probably use redirects to do that. Not sure I couldn't find where they did that.

I can put a hidden variable in the forms, but it would take me a long time to do.

I hope that's a little clearer. If not I'll try again 🙂

Please any ideas would be helpful. I've gone without it for 2 years now and it really sucks not having code to stop it. My players die from it all the time.
