You can redirect the page to the result page after the data is saved, using
header(Location: successpage.php). I've used this on several sites. It's a
little extra work but does prevent the reposting of data.
Another option is to use AJAX to send the data to the webserver and then have
the javascript open the result page after the update is complete. I do this on
several of my webpages and it works great.

Hi All,
I am a PHP newbie. I am using HTTP POST request to send some data to
Apache and then using MySql to store that information. Once information
is stored in MySql DB successfully, I display a result page. But the
problem I am facing is that, if I refresh the result page displayed
after database updation, the information is stored again in database
which I don't want to. Please guide me on how I can avoid duplication of
information in database on refreshing the page. Thanks in advance!

You probly want to use a seperate script to build the results, or even a
PEAR template mechanism.
