[FX.php List] FX Repost

[Steve Hannah]

In general it is good practice to only use POST requests when records  
will be modified by the request.  Otherwise GET requests should be  
used.  To avoid the case where a POST request is used to return a  
result set, I will generally always use GET requests to display  
information, and have scripts that use POST to modify information  
simply forward (i.e. header('Location: /path/to/results.php') ) to  
the GET request to show the results.  With this approach, repost  
becomes a non-issue.

Best regards
