How do I clear out the POST variables, or the variables that I have
set from the POST variables, so that when the page is refreshed it
will not resubmit. I have tried unset() and have tried to set it
to and
empty value, but it doesn't seem to work.
You can clear out POST by doing this:
$_POST = array();
But that won't do anything in your case because every time the page
is refreshed the form is resubmitted (and POST is repopulated). You
need to find a way to ensure unique entries in the database. One
option is to store a hidden, random value in the form, like a
timestamp or the md5() of a random value. Then store this in the db,
along with the other data. Put a unique index on that column so that
the same random value cannot be inserted multiple times. (In other
words, the form would need to be reloaded, then resubmitted for the
data to go into the db.)
