Not to repost

[Anon]

I've got a form where people submit information, but the problem is that if the user refreshes the page the same data that he posted before get posted again, is there a way to stop it?
thanks in advance.

A lot of sites process their data and then redirect the browser to another page which doesn't do anything with the data.

Also, there's javascript functions that prevent "double clicking", or, you can put a hidden value in the form thats unique and when in your code, check for this value (like select count(*) from table where temp_id = $hidden_value) if you get a return, you can assume that this is a refresh or double post...

can u supply me ur codes?
There are some possibilities. Either u disable your cookies on ur browser. Or if you using session, you can reset ur session.
Hope this helps.

Here's the js:
function disableForm(theform) {
if (document.all || document.getElementById) {
for (i = 0; i < theform.length; i++) {
var tempobj = theform.elements;
if (tempobj.type.toLowerCase() == "submit" || tempobj.type.toLowerCase() == "res
et")
tempobj.disabled = true;
}
return true;
}
else {
alert("Only click once.");
return false;
}
}

and in your html form tab add this:
onSubmit="return disableForm(this);"

as for the hidden form, well, you sohuld be able to figure that one out.
