The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Problem with redirection after form POST

Asked by starbones in Mobile / Handheld, PHP Scripting Language, Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Hi,
i am writing small application where i have a simple login form. it accepts POST data and if login is uaccuesful, it redirects the user to another page.

The problem is that on Nokia series 40 default browser it started to get warning when i use redirection just after using POST submition. I get following warning:
"Data you are sending will be redirected to another server. Continue?"

It is very annoying as it happens many times in the app and users instead of focusing on the content, they just need to confirm the redirection many times.

The strange bit is that i started to get this warning week ago, probably during some changes in the header(i guess). So this code worked ok on the same phones/browsers without any warning.

For the sake of simplicity i have removed db check in the following example that causes these warnings.
<?php
if(!empty($_POST)) {
header("location:menu.php");
}
?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>UDN</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Index2</h1>
<form action="index2.php" method="post">
Username<br />
<input name="usr" type="text" size="10"/><br />
Password<br />
<input name="psw" type="password" size="10"/><br />
<input type="submit" value="Login"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Warning are not shown if i use "get" instead of "post" method in the <form> tag, but i need POST cause GET is limited on 255 chars.

Can someone please help me and tell me what to change to get rid of these warnings?

Thanks in advance
