resubmit data message when reloading?

Anon

I am reloading the document after 1 minute. I first tried to use the following:

However, it does not remember any of the information submitted by the previous page and i get "Undefined variable" warnings all over.

I solved the lost data by using a javascript triggered:

"history.go(0);". This works great, but IE complains that it cannot continue without "resubmitting" data.

Any ideas how i can refresh the page and forcefully resubmit the data passed by the previous page -- without a dialog?

Thanks!

If this is a GET (not a POST) then the solution is easy. You can simply do something like this:

CONTENT="60; URL=<?= $PHP_SELF.$QUERY_STRING ?>"

However if these are posted variables, this is what you might want to try:

Put this Javascript Function in your page:
<Script language=JAVASCRIPT>

</Script>
Call the function in your body tag:
<Body onLoad="onMinuteRepost()">
Create a form in your document using PHP that holds all your posted variables:
<?php
print "<Form action=$PHP_SELF name=repost>\n";
while (list($key,$val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
print "<Input type=hidden name=$key value=$val>\n";
}
print "</Form>\n";
?>

What is happening here is that you're putting all the posted variables into a form of hidden fields. When the page is full loaded, the javascript function runs. It has a variable called falseCounter which is set to 0. You need this so that the form isn't posted when the function is first called. However, after the first iteration of the function, falseCounter gets a value of 1, which tells javascript to go ahead and submit the form.

Hope that helps

Great this was very helpful! I did make some changes to get this working, so i'll post incase someone else finds it usefull.

<?php
global $PHP_SELF;
global $QUERY_STRING;
global $HTTP_POST_VARS;

echo "<Form action=$PHP_SELF?$QUERY_STRING name=repost>\n";

while (list($key,$val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS))

{
print "<Input type=hidden name=$key value=$val>\n";
}

print "</Form>\n";
