if(isset($_POST['username']) && ($_POST['password'])) 
{

                $con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
                if(!$con)
                {
                die('Could Not Connect:'.mysql_error());

                mysql_select_db("tcs",$con);

                $usr=$_POST["username"];                 //pick username from login page
                $pwd=hash('sha1',$_POST['password']);    //pick password from login page and use hash algorithm to encrypt it

                $query="select * from employee where Username='$usr' and Password='$pwd'";  //serch that single row in which both r found
                $result=mysql_query($query,$con);


                    if ($result) 
                    {

                                $row=mysql_fetch_array($result);

                        if (($row["Username"]==$usr) && ($row["Password"]==$pwd))
                        {

                                $_SESSION['employee']['id']=$row['User Id'];
                                $_SESSION['employee']['username']=$row['Username'];
                        }       
                        else
                        {
                                echo "Login Not Successfull";
                        }

Ok fine now i am getting the point.But there is one more problem.Suppose i am on signin-action page which have a link of sign out.When i click on sign out button i am re-directed to sign in page.ok no problem but again if i press back button again i am asked to resend the data(even after sign out) and again i am on sign-in-action page why so. It is wrong yar..What to do this.For all other pages like if i click on sign out button from upload button->redirected to sign-in and if i press back button it shows u are signed out. I don't know how to check session variable exit for signinaction

as felix sir told me to check this http://www.thefutureoftheweb.com/blog/get-redirect-after-post

but really i am not getting what this guy is saying.I am sorry i am not so techanical becuase i am a begineer I know what problem i am facing...

as far as i know

    if (count($_POST)) {             //checking how many time data is being resend.
        // process the POST data
   add_comment($_POST);        //what this function do i dont know 

   // redirect to the same page without the POST data
header("Location: ".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);  //i think it is like  
                                //refreshing without get input again from allpication form
        die;
    }

Please, explain it, especially what is this $_server(;PHP_SELF)

No correct solution
