 php adding duplicate data, help needed :)
Hey everyone, i have a script and for some reason it's adding the same information twice (even though i'm submitting it only once via a form).
Please review my code and see where i'm going wrong! Thanks 
$type=$HTTP_POST_VARS['type'];
$price=$HTTP_POST_VARS['price'];
$bedrooms=$HTTP_POST_VARS['bedrooms'];
$location=$HTTP_POST_VARS['location'];
if (!$type || !$price || !$bedrooms || !$location)
{
echo 'You have not entered all the required details.<br />'
.'Please go back and try again.';
exit;
}
$db = mysql_pconnect('localhost', 'talkfreelance', 'password');
if (!$db)
{
echo 'Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.';
exit;
}
mysql_select_db('talkfreelance_com_-_3') or die(mysql_error());
$query = "INSERT INTO property VALUES ('', '$type','$price','$bedrooms','$location')";
mysql_query($query);
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
if ($result)
echo mysql_affected_rows().' property inserted into database.';
?>

Easy Rob
You're running the query twice:
mysql_query($query);
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

Randomish question, but why HTTP_POST_VARS rather than _POST? Or are you learning from a reasonably "old" book?

Yeah, I have been using a book that i purchased about a year ago. It was based on php 4 so it's not upto date as such. However, it's a decent read and i'm learning quite abit from it!

Yeah I wondered that, I'd use $_POST['object'] but if it works, it's cool

$_POST['object'] was acceptable in php 4. I think the book I have used both methods because it was a few years old but maybe in the third edition or something.

Ah i see, I guess it was just personal preference of the original writer of the book.
