The unique ID I normally use is to log the session ID into the DB and check if there are records with that ID before accepting the submission.

I meant to say, this is what I would do client side to prevent them submitting the form twice initially - its more effective than a round trip to the server telling them what they already know (that they have a twitchy trigger finger :-)

This is a weak solution to the problem, as users without javascript enabled
(And possibly other browsers) will be able to send the form twice still.
Perhaps a better way would be to give a form a unique ID which PHP can then
check aganist a database of some sort. That would completely stop double
sending, and providing IDs which are "old" are deleted you should not have
any problem. As for making the unique ID, using the microtime() function to
get the time with miliseconds should work quite well.
