Form submit and Back

Erdenemandal

Hello,

I need a help. Sound is very simple but I am still confusing.

I have 2 pages. Page1.php and Page2.php. Page1.php contains a form with 1 text field. (Name is for example test1). Method is GET. When User press Submit, it goes to Page2.php and shows inputted information to user. If something wrong user can click "Back" button and change inputted value. But when I press "Back" button (history.back()) Page1.php appears with empty text field even I wrote something in this text field.

This is a code . Also I use "Cache-control : public "

<?php
Header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate");
header('Cache-Control: public');
?>

<form name="form1" method="GET" action="Page2.php" >

<input type="text" name="test1">
<input type="submit">

</form>

Please tell you your advice.

Thanks,
Erdene

Why not just post back to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] (submit back to the same page). On the submit back then you can always do a header("Location: page2.php") to redirect.

You mean "Use form (GET) instead of history.back()"

May be it also 1 possibility. But when I use Cache . The value of text1 must be within. I want to use Cache.

It cache is not useable. I will use GET or POST
