Well, I've had the same problems with an "Send SMS" routine and it caused
the message to get sent twice or more if the user refreshed.
I fixed this by adding the following logic:
If there are post-data, put this into a session variable (an array of
key=>val) and reload the page.
if there are no post-data put the session-variable array into the current
scope again using a foreach loop, and then delete the session variable, so
data won't be processed again. Works like a charm, and doesn't include
javascript. Don't know if it's excactly right for you, so you might have to
modify it a bit.
(From memory only, might be typo's:)
<snip>
<?
session_start();
session_register( pre_posted );
if (count( $HTTP_POST_VARS)>=1) {
foreach( $HTTP_POST_VARS as $k=>$v ) {
$pre_posted[$k] = $v;
}
header( "Location: $PHP_SELF" );
exit;
} elseif ( is_array( $pre_posted )) {
foreach( $pre_posted as $k=>$v ) {
$$k = $v;
}
unset( $pre_posted );
}
echo "<b>You posted: $Test</b><br>Want to refresh?";
?>
<form method=post>
<input name='Test' value='test' size=20>
<input type=submit>
</form>
</snip>
