Hi I have a login form when user logged in it should redirect to next page. If i close the browser or select log off or browser's back button is clicked the user must be logged off and again login page should be shown. This works fine. But if i click the browser's forward button without giving any user name password the browser goes to next page. This should not happen. How to solve this. Pls help me.

You need to fix your code, so that it knows your logged in pages are not cached. You can't stop the back and forward buttons from working, you just need to write code that works.

How to do that in php?

http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/metatags.html - PHP has nothing to do with it. Your HTML tells the browser not to cache the page.

Try this on your logged in Home page

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.history.forward(1) != null)
      window.history.forward(1);

if (window.history.backward(1) != null)
      window.history.backward(1);
</script>

This is pure idiocy. It only works for people who don't want to stop it from working. It is no solution for knowing how to write web pages
