Process the $_POST data, then call:

header("Location: http://server/script");
exit();

(replacing server/script with your server/script) will bounce the user back
to the page. If they press F5 or try to reload, they'll just GET the page
again.

that seems to be the standard way of dealing with the multi-post issues.
