I've noticed a side effect. When I submit a form via POST and then go back from the results page, my form has been cleared, i.e.., as if the page has been reloaded. Is this a normal effect of setting register_globals OFF? Is there a way to continue caching? > > > Yes, this is exactly what register_globals does.

Hi, Thanks for your response but I don't think this is what I was asking; could be wrong though. What I want to know is why is my initial HTML form is empty when I click on the back browser button. There is no PHP in my form, just straight HTML. I only use PHP to process the form, not to create it. Order of events ---------------- Fill out form Click submit PHP processes script and returns confirmation page User clicks browser BACK button and returns to form Where have the user's entries vanished to?
