Hi

What is the procedure for clearing a forms cached values after submit and thus having finishing with the form? I guess I could set $form->data to NULL on exit before I move to the next URL. Is their some action anywhere to deal with this?

Regards

Nick

Hi Nick,

Most of the time you don't need to as it's rare for a real user to Submit a form more than once. The Session to Data action has an option to clear the session data if you do need to.

That sounds like the go, Bob. I hadn't spotted that. I was anxious to do that in case a form was completed on a 'public' computer when the data could be picked up by the next user.

Hi Nick,

If that's a big concern you can also shorten the Joomla! user session from the default 15 minutes down to say 5 minutes. If your forms are short that shouldn't cause any problems with them.

I will try both Bob. Thanks again for the help.
