hi guys,

when i refresh a page after submitting a form the same record gets inserted again in the database..

the answer maybe to redirect to another page..but im using the $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] to process the submission..

is there any way to stop that ??

thanx alot guys..

@Daniel_TApr 09.2006 — You should always redirect after processing form-submitted data. Put the following in the appropriate place (most likely right after the data-processing PHP):[code=php]header('location: '.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);[/code]

header("Location: $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]?$_SERVER[QUERY_STRING]");

What values do you want to pass anyway?
