How can I get rid of this in my php pages - that is, if there is no real form that people are going to resubmit....

This happens when the browser is asked to reload a page fetched with the
POST method (e.g. a submitted form).

When receiving the contents of a form, use

header("Location: http://yourserver/yourpath/form_done");

to redirect the browser to another page, which will be fetched via GET
and is "safe" to reload.

so i should have

form.php with ....

<?php if ($_POST("submit") {
header("Location: formdone.php");
}
?>
<FORM METHOD="get" ACTION="form.php">

..... and formdone.php with ....

$answerfromform = $_POST("content")
???

You may want to look into the HTTP specifications as well. There are
many little tidbits in there that may prove useful.

----------------^ // If you use 'get' here, the problem you stated on
the first post won't happen. That problem happens when you use 'post'
(and yes, there are reasons good enough to use 'post'; take the advice
given by Amir Khawaja and read about the HTTP protocol. In short, you
want to use 'get' when the processing of the form doesn't involve
changes in your data (e.g. web searches, customized content), and you
want to use 'post' when inserting/deleting/updating data (e.g. creating
a new user, inserting a post into a blog).

.... and formdone.php with ....

$answerfromform = $_POST("content")
----^ // not here
You can validate the input from the user only in form.php (because you
have <form action="form.php">. When you use header("Location: ...") to
redirect the browser, the form data doesn't get passed over to the new
page (you could manually achieve it if you had the need to).
