[plug] HTTP return header?

[John Breen]

I had a similar issue with some PHP development recently.

The way I got around it was to put a hidden field on the form, then check 
the value of the hidden field to determine what processing to do.  If your 
script then finds that the form data are invalid, change the value of the 
hidden field and resubmit the form.  If it's valid, accept the data and 
load the new page.

Why not do your processing in PHP?
