PC Nerd Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 well look up in google: "HTML, text field" therell be a link to a w3c and therell be a list of attributes you can set. goo dluck else you could use javascript, but php is the hardest and least easy in this case ithink Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46541-form-submit-problem/#findComment-226554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcorlew Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 After you use a vriable and before you prepare it for reuse you should use "uset($var);" to clean the old value then you can reset the new value and post again.

PC Nerd Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 yeah but arent they going back ,then refreshing, therefore the browser is storing teh value, and not the server?

rcorlew Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 If they keep hitting refresh the browser has the $var, if they are trying to post again and getting old $var the server has the $var. I have not heard of a way of remving a variable on the browser without it being a cookie.

rpadilla Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 hi, the trick here is to redirect back again, so that when the user refreshes the page it won't re submit the data so in the end of the submission process of the data do something like this header("location: whereyouwanthimback.php"); in this way refreshing, won't make a resubmit of data. cheers Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46541-form-submit-problem/#findComment-226642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunilvadranapu Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi, I hope you are checking whether submit button was clicked or not begore going to insert the data into the database. If you are doing like that you change the button name after you insert the data. that will solve the problem ex: if(strcmp($submit,"Submit") ==0){ code for inserting data if success , rename the value of $subit to some othere .. $submit=""; } i hope it is helpful to you -SunilKumar Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46541-form-submit-problem/#findComment-226659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
