Befoe I fixed it with Jerry's suggestion to send it to another page for
processing and then have that send it back when done, I had a header
statement going to the same page. A refresh STILL resulted in another post
because it passed the isset($_POST['theButton']) test. So, if it sends a
normal GET instead of a POST, why did it still satisfy that isset test?
