Hi
Add a hidden field into the form with a unique transaction ID.
When the data is submitted first time save the transaction ID to a table.
Before you do anything check to see if the transaction ID exists in the
table, if not then you are ok to save the transaction ID and then add/update
the data.
If the ID is already there, then do not add/update and send the user a
message to say they have submitted the same transaction twice.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Double Submission into DB if Hit Refresh
What is the best way to avoid data being resubmitted (entered twice) to
DB (mysql) if the user hits refresh after POSTING data via a form?
