I'm attempting to use the mysql insert statement below to add information to a database table. When I execute the script, however, the insert statement is run twice.
Here's the URL mysite.com/save.php?Body=p220,c180
Thanks in advance.
<?php
//tipping fees application
require('base.inc.php');
require('functions.inc.php');
// connect to the database & save this message there
try {
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname", $dbuser, $dbpass);
//$number = formatPhone($_REQUEST['From']);
//if($number != 'xxx-xxx-xxxx'){die('SMS from unknown number');} // kill this if from anyone but mike
$message = $_REQUEST['Body'];
//$Sid = $_REQUEST['SmsSid'];
$now = time();
echo $message;
$message = explode(",",$message);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($message);
echo 'message count = '.count($message);
echo '</pre>';
$i = 0;
$j = count($message);
while($i<$j){
$quantity =$message[$i];
$material = substr($quantity, 0, 1);
$amount = substr($quantity, 1);
switch ($material) {
case 'p':
$m = "paper";
break;
case 'c':
$m = "containers";
break;
default:
$m = "other";
}
$count = $dbh->exec("INSERT INTO tippingtotals(sid,time,material,weight) VALUES('$i+$j','$now','$m','$amount')");
echo $count;
echo '<br />';
$i++;
}
//close the database connection
$dbh = null;
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
echo $e->getMessage();
}
?>
Like most of you, I thought it was because I was starting $i=0 so I added the $i+$j in the insert statement so I could see how items were being inserted into the table. Here's what running the script returns:
I'm certain there's an error in my logic. I just can't seem to figure out what it is.
I ran LiveHTTPHeaders as suggested below and this is what turned up...

Turns out that the error is only happening when I load save.php in Chrome.
