Question

$data = array(
    'date' => $time,
    'boxoffice'=> $boxoffice,
    'upcoming'=> $upcoming,
    'intheaters'=> $intheaters,
    'opening' => $opening,
    'user'  => $users,
    'movie' => $movies,
    'star'  => $actors,
    'diractor' => $directores,
    'writer'  => $writeres,
    'cast'  => $casts,
    'comment'=> $comment,
    'image' => $images,
    'genre' => $genre,
    'country'=> $countrycode
);

try {
    $this->db->insert('muvidb_updatehistory',$data);
}
catch (Exception $e){}

I have those codes above in my project, at first it seems working fine but when i looked into my table, the value inserted three times. I’m new in codeigniter and i am stuck with this problem.

Anyone have an idea why is this happening?

Answer 1

Have you checked to see if you have some sort of rewrite trickery or a dev debug tool that would access that URL 3 times? (Or even a referrer search bot, or the like…)

This is why you should probably verify it’s a POST request before inserting data. GET requests that adhere to HTTP specs shouldn’t alter data…
