form data is resubmitted with page reload

[momukhtar]

Hi

I am using PHP5 and IE 6. I have made a web form. The action attribute of the form is redirecting it to the same page. Like action="index.php" and form name is also index.php . I am using Post method. When the user clicks on the submit button all the post variables are check by the isset function and then only the function to insert data is executed. If the user clicks on submit first time the data is submitted which is OK. But if the user click on browser refresh button (Page reloads) the data is again submitted.

Any help appreciated.

One common solution is to make a "success" page that you go to via a location header() command in your script, then have a meta refresh tag in that success page that sends you back to the initial form page (or wherever it is that you want to end up at).
