INSERT code writing in my DB twice

[mcmuney]

I'm using the code below to insert data into my DB, but it's executing twice. Not as a duplicate, but with it's own unique line. How can I fix this?

	if($ft>0)
		{
			$ft="UPDATE sc_member SET mem_feature_flag='1' WHERE scm_mem_id='$ft'";
			$res=$db->update($ft);
			
			// SEND MESSAGE
   			$time=time();
   			$ft=$_GET['ft'];
   			$txt_sb_body="Hey ".$fname.", You have been featured! Keep up your activity! {automated message}";
   			$sql="INSERT INTO sc_messages (`smg_from`, `smg_to`, `smg_subject`, `smg_body`, `smg_sent_del`, `smg_postdate`, `scm_bulletin`, `send_cron`) VALUES ('1','$ft','Featured Alert','$txt_sb_body','1','$time', '6', 'N')";
   			$result = mysql_query($sql);				
		}

That's all the code. This executes when the page has.. example.php?ft=1 (anytime ft>0). It's the insert portion that's executing twice.

What happens if you try to comment the $result variable?

$sql="INSERT INTO sc_messages (`smg_from`, `smg_to`, `smg_subject`, `smg_body`, `smg_sent_del`, `smg_postdate`, `scm_bulletin`, `send_cron`) VALUES ('1','$ft','Featured Alert','$txt_sb_body','1','$time', '6', 'N')";
  
//$result = mysql_query($sql);

If you are going to do that it would make more sense to echo the $sql so you can see if it is being called twice.
