PHP form processing with URL parameters and Forwarding to HTML page

[Miles Davenport]

Apologies for cross-posting, but I felt this query would be relevant to HTML
and PHP forums.

I am currently modifying a PHP IMAP script which allows the user to view
their email via a web browser. I have made use of URL parameters which are
passed to the webserver, and processed by the PHP code (better than
javascript). No problems so far :)

When I have reached a point where I no longer need these parameters, I use
PHP header/location forward to reload the HTML form page. If my page was
http://www.mysite.com/ foo.html and I was forwarding** to this specific URL
(without any ***?myval=????&anotherVal params).

When I reload the form**, I keep my URL parameters that were present*** the
previous time the form was processed (they are there in the URL_REFERRER).
Can someone tell me how to lose the parameters, so I just forward to
foo.html. :)

thanks :)

cheers

Miles.

Why? If some parameter is there that you don't require, simply ignore it.

My URL parameters provide additional information/behaviour for the
form. After a form transaction has been completed, I want to reload
the form without the parameters, so it "starts over".

Then something like this:

if (isset($_GET['startover'])) {
unset($_GET['parameterIDontWantAnymore1']);
unset($_GET['parameterIDontWantAnymore2']);
unset($_GET['parameterIDontWantAnymore3']);
}

?
