Is there any way for PHP to know whether it is being called due to a browser refresh versus a mouse click? I think the answer is no but I just want to be sure. Thanks.
You could embed a random token in all your links and input forms, and if they re-use a token, then you know they are re-loading something they have seen at some time in the past.
