I've set up some data entry forms that use sessions and mysql authentication. I want to allow the user to use the back button when they get an error message about their inputs. Ever since I enabled sessions I get the "resend" dialog and then the forms are empty. Is there a way to allow use of the back button or is there a better way to allow the user to go back to the last page with all of the input still there?

a better paradigm would be to redisplay the form WITH the error messages displayed. google for "sticky forms" to find out how to redisplay the entered data.
also take a look at HTML QuickForm (NOT QuickForm2) as an programmatic example of how to manage forms and form validation in php.
