PHP Shoutbox and POSTDATA

[Svinja]

Hello,

I made a shoutbox in php, the problem is that i am sending shoutbox data(name and text) with submitting forms, that way i get POSTDATA. The question is, can i send my shoutbox data to php by not using POSTDATA?. Url(GET) passing is not acceptable. If not, can i clear my POSTDATA?

Thx.

The usual way you would do this would be through the post array. Once you have used the data from $_POST, you can clear the post data by using:

[PHP]<?
unset($_POST);
?>[/PHP]

Thx for answer, this deletes the POST variables but the problem is i still get the firefox warning box ("The page you are trying to view contains POSTDATA...") after the user reloads the page, how can i make this box NOT show up when the user reolads?

Impossible.
What the browser does is out of your hands.
Even though you have unset the POST array, the browser is unaware of this, and carries on doing what it would normally do.

Well, ok, it is impossible to solve the problem but i found a workaround, i used javascript to redirect to the same page, this way the post array is deleted but i get the flicker because i reload the page twice.

Thx for your help
