Hi im playing around with adding data to my table, i seem to have it working great now however everytime i refresh the page it re ads the data to the table, whats the best way to stop this from happening? should i make the email addresses unique with mysql?...would that do the trick?

 

cheers

After you've inserted the data in to the database re-direct them to a confirmation page or something similar by using

 

header("Location: page.php");

 

You could also make the e-mail unique, or use sessions to make sure they aren't re-submitting.  They're just a few ways to get around the refresh button.
