You can redirect the page to the result page after the data is saved, using header("Location: successpage.php"). I've used this on several sites. It's a little extra work but does prevent the reposting of data.
Another option is to use AJAX to send the data to the webserver and then have the javascript open the result page after the update is complete. I do this on several of my webpages and it works great.
