Mozilla - Running Query Twice, IE Running Query Once

[lilman]

Kind of relieved but still puzzled.  I spent a couple hours poking around my code tryign to figure out why it would run a query twice. The first time it would insert the information, and then the following time, it would enter all blanks.  I thought it was my code, but no, it appears that it only runs twice in Mozilla but if executed through IE it runs as it should.

Has anyone every dealt with this type of issue? I am really puzzled as to why this is.

I haven't seen this happen and I code my sites in Firefox, then check them on IE and then whatever other browser I feel like loading up.

If ya want, post the code that you think is looping :)

function register($group, $user_name, $password, $first_name, $last_name, $gender, $email_address)
{
$password = sha1($password);
//SQL Query
$query = "INSERT INTO users (class, user_name, password, first_name, last_name, gender, email_address) VALUES ('$group', '$user_name', '$password', '$first_name', '$last_name', '$gender', '$email_address')";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Error ". mysql_error. " with query ". $query);
if($result)
echo "successful in registering you an account";
else
echo "failed in registering account";
}

It's strange, it only loops in Mozilla but not IE.  I have tested this out on two computers, it's really puzzling to me.

Can you post the entire code?

Do you check for a user_name that is already taken?  That would stop the double INSERT at that level.

Pehaps there is an odd loop happening..?!?

PHP runs on the server, well before it EVER gets to any browser. PHP doesn't even know what a browser is.

Well it works fine on IE but not Mozilla, so I assumed it could be because of the broswer. I will try the if statement and see if that does the trick.

Do you have any extensions installed in Mozilla?  Something may be sending a second request to your script.

Check your server logs to see if there is a second request being made.  Alternatively you can log requests to a file at the start of the script.

I am not sure how to do that, could you please tell me how I could go about setting that up?
