There is more than one way to do this, and the question is rather broad, but
on the action page do a routine that checks checks to see if there is a
duplicate value first. If there is, stop processing and ask the user if they
want to continue. The page that asks the user if they want to continue,
should have hidden input fields with all of the values from the form. If
they choose to continue, submit the form to your action page and process the
form. If they choose not to continue, you have all of the form fields there
to show whatever info you need.
