robi_7 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 First of all excuse me if this topic is inappropriate in this forum. But I think it's rather a PHP problem. I can't figure out multiple duplicate database records on submitting a form. The database table have two columns: the first one 'Id' with AUTO_INCREMENT and the second one 'Name'. Here's the php code for database insertion and the form: ------------------------------------------------------------------ <?php if($_GET['add_name']){ $host = *******; $user = *******'; $pass = *******; $db = *******; $con = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass) or die; mysql_select_db($db,$con); $name = $_GET['add_name']; $sql = "INSERT INTO names (Name) VALUES ('$name')"; mysql_query($sql); } ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="GET"> Your Name: <input name="add_name" type="text" /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> ------------------------------------------------------------------ After submitting the form to itself once I have multiple Name entries with different Ids. The curious thing is that with Chrome browser I get two duplicate records, with Mozilla - three of them. Seems like mysql_query runs multiple times. It works fine when submitting the form to a separate script and not to itself. Do I miss something? It must be very basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
