 Page caching.  You can alter that through the header() function.  But, a

No, you can't.

At least mozilla does not honour Cache-Control for SSL connections. I
haven't checked if thats because Cache-Control is not part of HTTPS (?) or
if its for security reasons. SSL connections are treated like
Cache-Control: no-store.

 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

yep.

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,
