Okay, so I have got the php bits working in this web page but it is running 3 times every time the page loads, and I see no reason why (I have opened this page in two differant browsers). The code for the entire page is pasted below, it includes some calls to include files which are not included in this message of course (and this file is itself included in another file), the page can be seen at this address: http://www.simradusa.com/index-test.php If anyone can see any reason for the script to run 3 times please let me know.
