[FX.php List] preventing refresh from rePOSTing?

[Joel Shapiro]

Thanks for the quick reply, Bob.

I had thought of that, but it seemed like a lot to do (do a find for  
all fields on the form)

What I did was put:
  header('Location: mypage.php');
  exit;

after a successful FMNew(), so now a refresh no longer contains POST  
data

Solved (& pretty painlessly :)
