I'd be interested in anything you come up with that can explain why this might be a bad idea. I have always used them without much hesitation.

Hey guys, i'm finishing up a site here and was just wondering, i've been reading online and it seems that some people strongly suggest against having php forms post back to themselves for error displaying and correction and processing. I can sort of understand why, but then again it seems that a lot of people are using it and recommend it, w3c included. Does anybody have any comments/opinions they can share that would help me shed some light on this matter? Self posting would make my life easier, but i have a solution that separates processing from the actual form page, except that there's a bit of code involved to redisplay the form with values filled in, error messages displayed etc. Any thoughts, comments, articles on the topic?THX, D!J!X!
