I really hope you just subscribed, because this question already been asked today...and yesterday... You should search the archive before you post.
Anyhow, the solution to your problem can be solved by using a "processing" page that does the insert into the database and then redirects to the main page that shows the list. The processing page should not display anything at all, just do the insert and redirect. Then the refresh will just refresh the page it was redirect to, and have nothing to do with the processing. ---John Holmes... > -----Original Message----- > From: Rich Hutchins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 9:49 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP-DB] Resubmit on page refresh. > > I have a page that maintains a very simple list of items.
