IE Refresh Submit Problem

Anon

I want to prevent that when I submit some data into a form and hit the submit button, php inserts data into mysql database, but when I push the refresh button in IE, it submits the data into database again and again.

Is there any php solution for this ??

ye, you refresh to another url...
eg. use meta refresh or header("Location: something"); 🙂

Hope it helps, Arni

I would submit to an entirely different page instead of to php_self?. And then put a redirect on the page you submitted to, to redirect you back to the submission page or whatever page you want to go to. Example:

FORM PAGE
<form>
<form action="post.php" method="POST">
<input stuff goes here>
</form>

PAGE THAT CONNECTS TO DATABASE

-do all of your database inserts
then put this at the top of your header stuff,
header ("location: http://some_url");

I want to refresh a page after a comment has been added. the way the site works currently is there is a suctomer page. The user clicks on a "add comment" button. A add comment scree pops up, theuser adds his comment and after the user clicks submit the user goes back to the original page and has that page refreshed automaticaly displaying his comment.
