It was unrelated to PHP or MySQL. Are you using javascript as part of the page? In particular, attaching an event handler to onSubmit event? I had an onSubmit event handler that called this.submit() as part of the routine. I didn't realize that caused the submit to happen twice. The double insert has vanished since. See if your page is getting posted twice for whatever reason. -Peter -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
