Resetting a page

@michaelh613Nov 16.2007

I have a page that is partially populated dynamically by PHP. Because of this the standart hmtl reset button doesn’t work. A standard javascript won’t work either because I have session values from the PHP scripts.

Is there a way to have a user click the reset button and then use javascript to call a PHP page that will end the session and reload the page.

[code=html]<input type="reset" name="reset_session" value="Reset">[/code]
When you click this button, a variable called "reset_session" will be in the $_POST or $_GET. In your PHP:

[code=php]if (isset($_POST['reset_session'])) {
 // PHP code to delete the session
 } else {
 // Process the form submission normally
 }[/code]

This would be in the same PHP file that the FORM's action attribute points to. No JavaScript needed.

I've been so focused on learning javascript forgot my html. Had to make one change to make the button submit instead of reset and then it works.

Thanks for not bonking me on the head
