Stopping Form Refresh

[Anon]

I'm currently working on a project and this has stumped me...

I have a form where the action is $PHP_SELF so the form and the form action are all self contained in one page......after the info is submitted a message is displayed stating the form info was submitted successfully.....

the problem I've ran into is how do I stop a user from refreshing the page and resubmitting the data again when this message is up?.......I thought unsetting the submit variable would work but that had no effect.....

does anyone have a way of doing this so a form can only be submitted once?

Hi,

I am having the same problem right now.
Did you find an answer/solution to your problem?

I would like to know, because I am as stuck as you where probably. I don't want the visitor to be able to add the same data twice.

Many thnx for you reply.
