[FX.php List] Problem with creating duplicate records

[Bob Patin]

Jerry,

Here's one way to do it:

in your form, add a hidden field, call it "valid". Set its value to 1.

In formA_response.php, put this at the top of the page somewhere

if($_POST['valid']==1){

<<here's where the rest of the PHP code would go>>

After the record is created, add this line:

$_POST['valid']="";

}



I haven't tested that last line, but I *think* that would work;  
someone will certainly correct me if I'm wrong!
