If I hit reload and re-post the same data, you'll need to detect that
somehow...
Put a unique HIDDEN variable in your FORM, log it to the database when you
see it, and if you see it a second time, don't increment $Stage.
The other possiblity is to use:
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=Stage VALUE=<?php echo $Stage + 1;?>>
Any reload will simply pass back the same old Stage the browser got in the
first place.
