I’m trying to implement the shopping cart in my project. I found a tutorial and everything works fine, but when I click on “place oder” it insert a duplicate record into the following tables: customers, orders, order_detail.
<?php
include("includes/db.php");
include("includes/functions.php");
if($_REQUEST['command']=='update'){
$name=$_REQUEST['name'];
$email=$_REQUEST['email'];
$address=$_REQUEST['address'];
$phone=$_REQUEST['phone'];
$result=mysql_query("insert into customers values('','$name','$email','$address','$phone')");
$customerid=mysql_insert_id();
$date=date('Y-m-d');
$result=mysql_query("insert into orders values('','$date','$customerid')");
$orderid=mysql_insert_id();
$max=count($_SESSION['cart']);
for($i=0;$i<$max;$i++){
$pid=$_SESSION['cart'][$i]['productid'];
$q=$_SESSION['cart'][$i]['qty'];
$price=get_price($pid);
mysql_query("insert into order_detail values ($orderid,$pid,$q,$price)");
}
die('Thank You! your order has been placed!');
}
?>

Hope someone can advise. I went through the code, but I couldn’t find what is causing this behavior.
Thanks all for your valuable replies and help, I solved it by removing the below line from the code and it worked.
