What I usually do is send a header redirect back to the same page. Your DB
injection should occur before any HTML output. At the end of the DB
injection simply add:
header("Location:your_php_page.php");
exit;
This will reload that page and all the $_POST data will be removed. THen
you can hit refresh all you want.
