$_REQUEST makes browser (Opera) halt?

Hmm.

In order to produce dynamic pages, I add variables to my URLs (e.g.: "index.php?chapter=2&quot. The chapter variable is read through $_REQUEST.

Now, I would like to create a form (say: form.php) that sends what has been inputted to index.php?chapter=2. In form.php, I've created a hidden field:

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;chapter&quot; value=&quot;2&quot;>

In order to test, I've added

print_r($_REQUEST)

on index.php. At first, this returns the desired values.

But!

Upon refreshing the page (ie index.php), Opera hangs at the beginning of the page (ie: it does not crash, it simply stops loading the page). IE on the other hand pops up a requester stating I should resubmit my data (coming from form.php) if I want to refresh.

Anyone?

Oh, and by the way, after a while Opera displays an "Error 400 - Bad Request". (I'm using Abyss Web Server btw).

OK, when you're using queries you have to be careful of refreshing pages.

Once you've submitted that form, and you've printed out that info, that submitted information is no longer usable for another page, unless you either create a session for the user, in which you store this info, or you create a cookie with the data.

So, what you're saying is that this behaviour would be the same if I put it all in $_POST variables?

This means that it's in fact Opera's fault... it should ask me whether I want to resubmit my data, right?
