Not for 'how-to' coding questions but PHP theory instead, this forum is here for those of us who wish to learn about design aspects of programming with PHP.
normally (well everytime) i see people writing there scripts be it inserting a record or deleting, whatever they always pass it onto another page for it to be processed, I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS, i always do it on the same page and just redirect the user (basially refresh the page) is this bad? or just the scripters preference?
i understand that it could bloat a pages code (damn i have pages with 300+ lines of PHP code
I prefer having the code on a seperate processing page for design reasons. If I was to colaborate with a designer who knew nothing about PHP, it would be easy for him/her to send the data to my processing page, and they wouldn't have to work around/with my code.
