I'm not sure if this is specifically a PHP problem, but here we go. Is  =
 there a way to clear the POST variables when the user refreshes a page? =
 =
 
 Specifically, my webpage POSTs a form to update or delete a record from =
 =
 
 the database -- it POSTs to itself, however. But if the user then clicks=
 =
 
 the browser's refresh button, it will try to delete or modify a  =
 
 non-existent record. I would like, if the users presses the refresh  =
 
 button, that PHP processes the page as no POST variables are set. I have=
 a  =
 
 button on the page entitled "Reload" that executes a short Javascript:  =
 
 onclick=3Dwindow.location=3D<? echo PHP_SELF; ?> which accomplishes the =
 =
 
 desired effect. But it tries to resend the POST information if the brows=
 er  =
 
 refresh button is clicked.
 
 I read something somewhere that seemed to imply this could be done with =
 =
 
 PHP sessions? Is this the way to go? If so, how?
 
 Thanks for any help.
