You misunderstood what I meant. As far as I know there is NO way to go back
to a page where a form was submitted to. By a back button, I meant something
like <a href="previouspage.php">Go Back</a>.

Alternatively, if you use a header( "location: newpage.php"), then the end
user never sees the post submit page. For example

form.php submits to action.php
action.php had a header( "Location: afterform.php" ) command at the end of
it (no output to the browser can be made on this page)
afterform.php outputs a "Thank you" message.

The end user will only see form.php and afterform.php and will be able to go
back and forward between the pages without any problems. More of a work
around than a solution...

Good Luck

Stephen
