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;
Does this work for all browsers?
yes.
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.
I looked for such a message and the only thing I can find is as follows:
1) _SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'] and _ENV['HTTP_ACCEPT'] and change to "*/*", but I don't know if that is the case for all browsers, do you know?
2) _SERVER['REDIRECT_UNIQUE_ID'] and _ENV['REDIRECT_UNIQUE_ID'], _SERVER['REMOTE_PORT'] and _ENV['REMOTE_PORT'], _SERVER['UNIQUE_ID'] and _ENV['UNIQUE_ID'] change, but I don't think the values are predictable, especially between browsers.
Do you know of a specific message to look for and is that message the same for all browsers?
that's a message the user (using the browser) gets from the browser. Unless you use GET method, but you should really use POST method for forms that change state on the server.
