clear url variables?

[lambrite]

Is there a way to clear URL variables out?

I have a page that lists some items, with the option to delete. The delete code is on the same page, so if the conditions evaluate, the delete code runs, followed by the view code. The issue is that, if anything else occurs on the page, it doesn't work correctly b/c the url variable signaling a delete is still there.

I'm now using

	$updateGoTo = $PHP_SELF;
    header(sprintf("Location: %s", $updateGoTo));

to clear out the URL variables, but it just seems cheap. Can I do this without effectively reloading the page?

Thanks!

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] = "";

that will clear out all the get variables. but if you have other things in there you need it will wipe them out too. you may want to use preg_replace in the query string to get rid of something matching your delete string.
