Re: Refresh (F5) adds another SQL record.

Why dont you check that data isnt being duplicated?

$query = "SELECT auto_col FROM table where col1 = $var1 & col2 = $var 3.............";
$call_query = mysql_query($query,.......
$query_data = mysql_assoc($call_query);


if(!$query_data) { do form }

else echo "information already exists in database";

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).
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?

Regards,

Robert
