This doesn't have anything to do with PHP. Whether or not a form will be populated or not after hitting the back button completely depends on whether or not the browser decided to cache that page or not. By default, a page served up by PHP will not be cached. You can make it cacheable by sending an appropriate cache-control header. However, in this case I think you said that the page was not even a PHP one, just static HTML in which case it should have gotten cached. Have a look at the HTTP headers the page generates. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
