Hello friends!!
Hope someone will fix this issue for me..
I am making a web page in PHP, in which users will enter into their login and do manupulations. After they click logout, the go to the logout page. Here, when they click the back button of the browser, they go to the previous page where they enter the data which should not be shown to anyone else. If this is the case, anyone can see the data that are encrypted and stored in the database. So, I just wanna know how to make the previous page unavailable to the user after logout. For example, after logging out from an email. I know that, it should be done with the cookies and sessions, but I dont know the modus operandi to do it. Please someone help me.
Thanks a million in advance,
Regards,
VJ

T'is a hard one - for me anyway. From what i've seen when a user clicks the back button that page isn't refreshed it just goes to the state it was in when the user left that page. So considering you've deleted the cookies (or sessions) once the user attempts to do anything with that page it's going to cause the a page to reload and then catch that there isn't any cookies (or sessions).
I suspect one of the 'elders', as i like to call them, may have a fix.

Heya, VJ.
This is why a lot of sites say, "For your security, please close your browser window," after you log out. They haven't figured it out, either.
It has to do with the fact that browsers store downloaded data in their cache so that Users CAN use the back and forward buttons without having to send another request to the server.

I have a page which allows the user to open one of several spreadsheets by

When this page is called with the correct inputs, the standard

I do a site where I have a previous and next link at the bottom of
every page. It looks like:
<p><a href="foo01.html">Previous</a> | <a href="foo03.html">Next</a></p>
Seeing as they're always in sequential order, is there a way to
automagically go to the previous file or the next file using JS?

Hi,
there is a 500;13 page one can configure in the website properties, but
..Net Framework 1.1 also delivers the "server too busy" message
sometimes and the IIS custom error page does not seem to catch that.
How would I customize the error page then?

I need to place a "Previous Page" link on every page within my site and
a simple javascript:history.back() will not work because I need it to
capture the state of the page when I left it. For example, if I have
a page with some date controls so I can choose a date range and
postback the page. It then displays results based on that date range.
When I leave the page for another page, I would like to have the
Previous Page link take them...

If I open, edit and save the web.config file directly on the
webserver, the
web server becomes unavailable. When I reset IIS, I get the 'Server
Application Unavailable' message appear for that web site. The change
being
made was minor, and worked locally.
Restarting IIS or the server has no affect.
Deleting the Temporary ASP.NET files has no effect.

Hi All:
I need to make my database unavailable when i am loading the db. This
happens daily and the db is not connected to any online app, to make
the app unavailable. It is queried thru an Access and hence available
all the time.
The load happens daily for an hour in the morning.
Is there anyway to make it inaccessible to users while loading data
and then make it accessible

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
