Question

Is it possible to tell the browser that he should not remember the action scripts page?

So when you delete a headline for example. The get action will be ?d=ID where ID is the id of the headline. After removing the headline go to the page without the get variable in the url (the header part).

<?php
if(isset($_GET['d']) && preg_match('{^[0-9]{1,3}$}',$_GET['d'])){
    $hid = $_GET['d'];
    $deletesql = "DELETE FROM headlines WHERE hid = $hid";
    mysql_query($deletesql);
    header('Location: panel.php');} ?>

But now you browser history shows the link panel.php?d=23
Can prevent the browser from remembering the page? Maybe a 303 header?

Answer 1

Make the ID hidden in the form and then get it in the form action part using $_POST and then do the delete action and redirect once delete is successful to avoid user from re posting the form.
