tidysi Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 My PHP script inserts data into a mysql table that has been passed into it. My question is, what is the general method by which to ensure that if a user reloads the screen, the same set of data doesn't get duplicated into the database? For instance, I am inserting ticket data (its an ecommerce event system) into a mysql and really dont want duplicated entries if the user happens to press reload or back or whatever Any ideas?

Jessica Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 After inserting it, use header() to go to a new page. If they refresh that page, it won't insert.
