    <p>Neglecting the obvious security flaws of mysql and nor sql escape strings, does anybody know why my sql tables are getting filled up with empty <code>msgs</code> on page reload. Every sinngle time the page reloads a form submits. I'm confused as to why this is happening, and how do i stop it?</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php ob_start(); session_start(); $con = mysql_connect("localhost","username","pass"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } $dates = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); $uid = $_SESSION['user_id']; $msg_id = (int) $_GET['msg_id']; mysql_select_db("db_table", $con); $result = mysql_query("SELECT users.first_name, users.last_name , intro.intro, intro.outro FROM intro INNER JOIN users ON intro.user_id = users.user_id WHERE intro.message_id = {$msg_id}"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "&lt;div id=\"start\"&gt;&lt;div class=\"namedate\"&gt;&lt;h1&gt;". $row['first_name'] ." ". $row['last_name'] . "&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;h2&gt;test&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=\"holdmsg\"&gt;&lt;div class=\"cent\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;" . $row['intro'] . "&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;" . $row['outro'] ."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; " ; } </code></pre> <p>PART RELEVANT TO THE FORM is this part and also the $_GET, at the top of the page. </p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="" method="post"&gt; &lt;?php $sql="INSERT INTO messages (user_id, intro_id , msg, date ) VALUES (('$uid'), {$msg_id} ,'$_POST[msg]', ('$dates'))"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_close($con); ?&gt; &lt;textarea rows="2"style="float:left" name="msg" type="text"placeholder="Elaborate on your idea..."&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;input id="togz2" style="float:right; "type="submit" value="SUBMIT" name="submit" class="butts"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COvery peculiar. I'm assuming it has something to do with your post or get methods. Good luck.

    3. COWhat kind of logic do you have wrapped around the insert to ensure it only happens in certain scenarios? If the above is all you have then it will insert every time the page loads as you are experiencing

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
