You should be able to get around it also by checking
if $_SERVER[REQUEST_METHOD]=='HEAD'

I get around this by putting the session id into the database and if it
is double requested within
5 seconds to discard. So you will need to do a select, num_rows then if
below 1 insert.

Subject: [PHP] Re: Double entry into MySQL..
Another strange behaviour... When I send the name of the file
to be downloaded to this script, it works (still makes a
double entry into MySQL
though) with GET method but it doesn't work if the file's
name is sent with the POST method.
Why? I am pulling my hair out here!!!
Please help...
Thanks again

Hi here,
I am sending a file to user's browser and logging the downloaded file
into MySQL but everytime this script works, I see double
entry in the
MySQL table... Why is this happening?
Any ideas?
Thanks
<?
$today = date("Y-m-d");
$conn = db_connect();
if(!$conn)
echo "Can't connect to database...";
$query = "INSERT INTO track_dl (dldate, email, file)
VALUES ('$today', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'file.ext')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!$result)
echo "Can't execute query: " . mysql_error();
header("Content-type: application/pdf"); readfile("file.pdf");
exit();
?>
