A little help with the code for an idea.

Hi guys,

I have a little issue, I have already got a quiz, here is some of the code from the quiz.

<?php 
session_start();
session_name("Question_Test");
require_once('questionsandanswers.php');
require_once('functions.php');

if (!isset($_SESSION['questions']))
    $_SESSION['questions'] = array();

$id = which_question($_POST['some_field']);

$score = 0;

if (!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	$_SESSION['dclty'] = $_POST['dclty'];
	if ($_SESSION['dclty'] == "beg")
		{
	?>
		<script>
            window.open("extrahelp.php", height=300,width=300);
            </script>
	<?php
		}
	if ($_SESSION['dclty'] == "int")
		{
			?>
			<script>
			window.open("pointers.php", height=300,width=300);
			</script>
			<?php

		}
}

if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) 
{			
	$_SESSION['correct'] = array(); 
	$_SESSION['wrong'] = array();
	$_SESSION['finished'] = 'no';

	if (isset($_SESSION['error']))
	{
		unset($_SESSION['error']); 
		$_SESSION['$num'] = 0;
	} 
		else
	{
	$_SESSION['score'] = $score;
	$_SESSION['correct'] = array(); 
	$_SESSION['wrong'] = array(); 
	$_SESSION['finished'] = 'no';
	$_SESSION['$num'] = 0;
	} 
}
else
{
$_SESSION['$num'] = (int) $_POST['num'];
$postedanswers = str_replace("_"," ",$_POST['answers']);
	if ($postedanswers == $answers[$_SESSION['$num']]['0'])
	{
		$_SESSION['score'] ++;
		$_SESSION['correct'][] = $postedanswers; 
	} 
	else
	{
		$_SESSION['wrong'][] = $postedanswers;
	}	

if ($_SESSION['$num'] < count($questions)-1) 
{
	$_SESSION['$num']++;
} 
	else 
{
	$last = true;
	$_SESSION['finished'] = 'yes';
}
}

The problem is, is that everytime i refresh my page the score counter increments.

I have been chatting to a friend and they recommended some coding ideas that may work to stop this, however can any1 help me with a little more on implementing it to my systems?

here is the recommended code

session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['questions']))
    $_SESSION['questions'] = array();

# assuming which_question gives the proper id for the question
$id = which_question($_POST['some_field']);

# Only handle post data if questions hasn't allready been answered
if (!isset($_SESSION['questions'][$id]))
{
    # remove anything other than a-z, A-Z and regular whitespace from answer
    $answer = preg_replace('#[^a-zA-Z ]#', '', $_POST['answer']);
    $_SESSION['questions'][$id]['answer'] = $answer;
    $_SESSION['questions'][$id]['points'] = grade_answer($answer);
    
    # ...
}

Any help would be hugely Appreciated. Thanks
