The next day, I accidentally hit the back button in Mr. Browser and ended up at the add page again. So, a second copy of the note got added to the docs. Might I suggest, that you run a checksum against submissions by users and compare them with existing notes in your documentation. If the note is from the same user and its checksum is identical, its a good bet its an instant replay, not something new. MD5, for example has a pretty small chance of a collision. This would reduce the junk in the docs and/or eliminate the need for a human to scrutinize the docs carefully for duplicates. Also, I looked around for a way for me to delete the duplicate but I didn't see one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39100&edit=1
