Multiple entries question

[Pie]

I've got a form that submits an entry to a database after I hit the submit button. Just wondering if there're any methods to stop multiple entries into the database if the user keeps hitting the reload button on the browser?

You have the form where the action is set to forexample
addentry.php

addentry.php retrieves the content of the for either by a POST or a GET array. addentry.php should not produce any output, just put data in the database.

When data is processed, redirect to anothe page. for example index.php. Use a header redirect.

header("Location: index.php");

What happened is that the user never loads the page that process the form. It's all on the server. That also means that it's impossible to reload the processing code.

Alright thanks for the tip.
