Postgresql

[Anon]

Hello, I have created a script that takes lists elements from a database, postgresql, with a form at the bottom to insert new elements into the database. The form submits to php_self, where the script then takes the form data and inserts it into the database. However, after you submit the information, how do you keep people from hitting reply and resubmitting the information.

I am new to PHP, please keep this in mind when posting the reply. Thank you.

Ok, i figured this out. I just put the post on another page with and included a
header("location=http://wwww.xxx.com") and that seemed to do the trick.

Personally, (after having looking into this today) I set a cookie and if they hit submit after the cookie has been set (done when hitting submit when the cookie isn't there) it displays an error and stops the page from executing.
Hope that makes sense

<?php
if (($submit) && ($noresubmit != "nope")) {setcookie ('noresubmit', 'nope');}
elseif (($submit) && ($noresubmit == "nope")) {echo "Please don't try to resubmit the information!"; die;}
?>

You can set a time if you want on the cookie, otherwise it just expires when they close the browser.
