news system adding 2 instead of 1

[Shadow Hatake]

Okay so I made this news system and it worked fine for a while, but now it's acting up and adding a blank entry to the databse when I post a piece of news.

Code from confirm.php:
[code]    } elseif( $_GET['p'] == 'news' ) {
        $stat_chk_query = 'SELECT status FROM users WHERE name = "'.$_SESSION['valid_user'].'"';
        $result = mysql_query( $stat_chk_query );
        $row = @mysql_fetch_array( $result, MYSQL_ASSOC );
        
        if( $row['status'] == 2 ) {
            $news_add_query = 'INSERT INTO news( title, news, date, user )';
            $news_add_query .= 'VALUES( "'.$news_title.'", "'.$news_content.'", NOW(), "'.$_SESSION['valid_user'].'" )';
            $result = mysql_query( $news_add_query );
            
            if( $result ) {
                content_box( $news_pos_title, $news_pos_content );
            } else {
                content_box( $news_neg_title, $news_neg_content);
            }
        } else {
            content_box( $news_err_title, $news_err_msg);
