Repeating querystring on fail

Hi

Using server validations, if the validation fails I pass the fail=1 query string value.

If the form fails twice, this value gets passed twice. Three failures equals three instances of the query string value.

i.e
additem.php?fail=1&fail=1&fail=1&fail=1&fail=1&fail=1&fail=1&fail=1&fail=1&fail=1&fail=1&fail=1&fail=1

The validation code is

<?php 
if (isset($_POST["BT_Submit"]))  {
  $WAFV_Redirect = "additem.php?fail=1";
  $_SESSION['WAVT_additem_059_Errors'] = "";
  if ($WAFV_Redirect == "")  {
    $WAFV_Redirect = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
  }
  $WAFV_Errors = "";
  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["name"]))?$_POST["name"]:"") . "",true,1);
  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["stockcode"]))?$_POST["stockcode"]:"") . "",true,2);
  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["description"]))?$_POST["description"]:"") . "",true,3);

  if ($WAFV_Errors != "")  {
    PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"additem_059");
  }
}
?>

Can I stop this from happening and just pass the on fail value?

Cheers
Ian

add the following code at line 1 of the apge:

php:

<?php 

function cleanQS() {

    $varQS = ""; 

    if(isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != "") {

        $arrRemove = array();

        $arrRemove[] = "fail";

        $arrQS = explode("&", $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]);

        foreach($arrQS as $k => $v) {

            $arrVar = explode("=", $v);

            if(in_array($arrVar[0], $arrRemove)) unset($arrQS[$k]);

        }

        if(sizeof($arrQS) > 0) {

            $varQS = "".implode("&", $arrQS);

        } 

    }

    return $varQS;

}



if(isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != "") $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] = cleanQS($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]);

?>
