Answer 1

You should use the post/redirect/get pattern here.

Using this pattern advocates sending a redirect as a response from your form handling page, and as a result subsequent refreshes will not trigger these actions more than once.

From the documentation:

...instead of returning a web page directly, the POST operation returns a redirection command.

In pseudo-code, your handler page should have something like:

• Whatever initial handling code you have
• Send Email
• header("Location: /someotherpage");
• exit();
