Disallow refresh

[neville]

I have a page that does an insert on loading if variable $submitted=="yes"
I don't want that insert to happen again when the user refreshes the page .. how do i ensure that ?

You can make a variable $x and insert depending on it s value

If( ($submiit == "yes" ) && ($x=0)
{
insert satement

$x=1;
}

This inserts the values for the first time and after insert statement it make the value of x =1 so if next time when u refersh the page values won't insert again.

If this is wrong then u can try something like this ...
Or make some variable and change its value on refersh. And insert depending upon that value

After inserting the record, redirect the user to a new URL (could still be the same page)
use:

header("Location: url.php");

this will clear the POST and GET variables, so hitting refresh after this redirect will not re-post the data.
