Refresh On Browser After Clicking A Save Button.


Recommended Posts

I have a form, with a text box and a submit button. When they click submit it saves to a database.

 

Say the submits name/id is save_button.

 

I use

if(isset($_POST['save_button'])) {

 

// do save to database stuff here.

 

}

 

The user clicks save, it saves the database, then for whatever reason hits the Refresh Button. Adding a double to the database.

 

I don't understand how to stop this from happening?

 

Any recommendations?

 

Thanks

Nick

Add a HTTP redirect after saving the posted data in the database, and kill the script immediately after. This will prevent the F5-resend problem.

 

Also, are you using JS/AJAX to submit the form, by any chance?
