Hi all.

I have a site, the user goes through a few pages inputting info and also
making various selections. On the last page they are shown a success
page. however if they go back by clicking the back button. they can re
process the last step which is undersireable. I can't really use
javascript to detect the back button because Im using smarty and php
and it cant detect the back button press.

is there a way to "route" from my second last step to my last one with a
php page between them that will intercept any back press and also will
"redirect" when the process goes from the second last step to the last
step. If the user clicks back from the last page it must then determine
that he is going back and redirect to an error page or a login page.

any suggestions? Ive been stuck on this for a while and think that maybe
I could use a sesssion variable and once I get to the last page it
expires and if the user clicks back then that "routing page" will see
that the session isnt registered anymore and redirect to an error page.

thanks for any suggestions or help. in advance.

Angelo
