Hello,

Scenario:
1) User is presented a blank form.
2) User fills in form.
3) User submits form.
4) Record is added to database.
5) Back to 1).

Go really back to 1) - use redirect. After the record is added to the database, use something like:
header('Location: http://yourserver.com/form.php');
exit;


All is fine to here.
6) User clicks refresh.
7) Another record is added, same data except auto-increment field.
How do I prevent these last two steps, or at least prevent a record
from being added when refresh is clicked?

You should see a message from your browser that data is being reposted.
