im trying to insert a value in to mysql using an experiment everything works fine after hitting the insert button but the problem arises wen i refresh the page as a empty value gets inserted in to the mysql table wen i refresh it.(pardon my english)

 

this is the index page where i fetch an result from mysql table:

<div id="container">
<div class="Container-left">
</div>
    <div class="container-right"> <form action="1.2.php" method="post">
            <textarea height="190px" width="190px" name="text" placeholder="share wats on your mind"></textarea>
            <br>
            <input type="submit" name="button" value="Type Here" />
        </form> 
        <hr>
    <?php
include '1.2.php';
while ($fetch = mysqli_fetch_array($query1)) {
    echo 'comment:'.$fetch['post'].'<br/>';
    echo '<small>date:'.$fetch['date'].'</small><br/><hr>';
    
}
    ?>
    </div>
</div>

this is the page where my second code rests:


<?php 
include 'config.php';
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$h= htmlspecialchars($_POST['text']);
$p=  mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$h);
$sql = "INSERT INTO article (post) VALUES ('$h') ";
$sql1="SELECT * FROM article";
$query=mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
$query1=  mysqli_query($conn, $sql1);
if ($_POST['button']){

    echo 'inserted';
}  
else {
    echo 'not inserted'. mysqli_error($conn);    
}


what should i do to stop value getting inserted in to my table while refreshing the page. pl help and thanks in advance.

comment out the actual code that inserts anything into your db - echo the query instead so you can see what's happening. You must be hitting the db somewhere. Get rid of the location header until you can find the problem.

Use an include for that page instead.
