How To Prevent Uploading Duplicate Pdfs By Refresh?


Recommended Posts

It may not be the best way but one way is forwarding yourself to the same page with a success tag if the file uploaded successfully. Like...

 

header ("Location: {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?success=y");
exit();

 

and in the code have something along the lines of

 

if (isset ($_GET['success']) && ($_GET['success'] == "y")) {

echo '<h4>The file has been uploaded!</h4>';
}

 

That way if you click refresh it will just reload the page rather than uploading the file again.
