Some browsers will resubmit form data if you simply reload. It may be helpful
to put the cursor in the address bar of the browser and press the enter or
return key to reload the form page fresh.
An additional consideration is to use:
if (! empty($submit))
{
}
in your clause to check to see if the submit button has been clicked.
The whole business of checking to see if certain fields have inputs (ie
required fields) takes a bit more work. The problem is not so much in checking
the fields but in redisplaying the form with the data the user supplied and a
message to indicate that certain fields need attention. It's not terrible,
just not a one-line solution.
