Page caching. You can alter that through the header() function. But, a
cleaner way handle user validation problems is to reprint the form and data
on the present page. I like to have both the initiating form and the form
validation take place in the same script. Put the form itself in a function
or an include file. The form should use PHP variables in the value. If
there are validation problems, tell the user what's up and have the script
re-display the form and the data they just entered will be filled in! An
example of such an input element would be...
<input type="text" name="foo" value="<?php echo $foo; ?>" />
Enjoy,
