Form Submission to db

[Anon]

What will make a form submit twice after 1 click of the submit button, the first time sending nothing to the database and sending an email with empty $var and then operating corrrectly, ie the $vars are sent to the db and the email is correctly populated ?

I'm using the following HTML code :

<form name="freg" method="POST" action="<?$PHP_SELF; ?>" onsubmit="regsubmit()">

Gurus, do you need any more info to solve my problem ?

Many thanks

you don't need to submit twice. just submit once then then proccess the data in any order that want.

Hmm... you can try this:

submit the form to your script (i'll call it script.php) with a variable like step=1.

In script.php, once you send the empty thingy, use the header to goto step 2:

header("Location: $PHP_SELF?var1=value1&step=2");

Then in your script.php, if step=2, then insert the data into the DB (i.e. perform normally).
