Resubmitting Data problem

[Anon]

I need to have this done as one php file. I have a form with a text box and a submit button. Once the submit button is pressed, it inserts the data into a database. However, if I reload the page, it will re-submit the data. How can i either forward to another page, or reset the variables in the form? I can't use a header because it's all once script.

thanks,

This question is probably in the top 5 most asked.

There are lots of ways of doing what you want. My personal preference is to use sessions to register a flag when the form is submitten. Then all you do is something like this.

if($HasBeenSubmitted==TRUE){
 print("Oi! stop it yer bugger")
} else dubmit the data

Do a search, you'll find lots on this subject.
