Well I usually query the database first to see if the name/email combo exists before inserting it, if so I don't allow it to enter again. So if they do refresh it would prevent that. -----Original Message----- From: PHP [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 7:57 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Is Their a Standard Way of Preventing Users from Entering Double Records by Refreshing Browser? Is Their a Standard Way of Preventing Users from Entering Double Records by Refreshing Browser? So when I submit A name and Email to a database and then hit refresh on the page I was sent to Another entry appears in the Database with the same information duplicated. Is their a Common Practice in your coding to follow to prevent such a small (yet potentially very common) Data Distortion.
