Page Cannot Be Found after POSTing

condoug

I am keen to understand a way around a problem I am encountering.

When someone uses the search facility in my website on IE, my script detects that the search button has been pressed and then includes my searchresults.php page as such:

	if (isset($_POST['searchsubmit'])) {
		include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/search.php');
		exit();
	}

and this script displays the results accordingly.

If I then click an item from the results, and then hit the BACK button on my browser, the page cannot be displayed.

If I do this in Firefox it prompts me to POST the variables again, however, I have seen sites that use this same method but do not have any problems in going back and displaying the search results without loss of the page.

What am I doing wrong?

Many Thanks for reading.

a lot of software our there will bypass the POST problem when clicking "back" by using an intermediate page like phpBB for example when posting a new topic... "Your page will load momentarily, or click here if you cant wait"... that page does the update and then redirects you to the page you need, typically with logic to get the results w/o using the post data (a cacheID where the results are stored in MySQL and the URL is redirected using a ?query=value in the URL (no post)...
