PHP Clear Mail Form after submit

What is the issue here?  Can you please explain a little more?  Thanks, ~Ray

Huh?  The page should be getting refreshed with a blank form or a thank you page should be going back.

@CobolDino:  Agreed.  Maybe autocomplete="off" ?  I am wondering if the question goes to the nature of the browser back button, and the risk of accidental duplicate form submissions?  But it is impossible to know without some clarifying input from the Author.

Best regards, ~Ray

Ray,

All I can do is send back an initialized form or a response page.  On the server I can prevent duplicate submissions with entries in the session. Browser side, I can't control the browser or the user; and I don't want to.  If there is ignorance it can be remedied with education.  If it is stupidity, there is no cure.

Ha!  Agreed, indeed!  Reminds me of the legendary oil well firefighter Red Adair who famously said, "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional, just wait till you hire an amateur,"

On a page I have a number of ID's.  Using jquery, when you click a menu choice the page "slides" to the clicked ID. On of the IDS corresponds to a 'Contact Us' Form. On the contact Us Page/ID I have used the following: <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>#contact" method="post">

After the email has been sent there is a "success" message displayed.  However, when you use the menu to jump to another part of the page, the form re-submits.  So, is there a way, a piece of code that will auto clear the form after the email has been successfully sent?

Also, in the form, I have made the values sticky if that matters.
