I noticed that Message-ID: <hBBSe.3225$7p1.3015@newsfe7-win.ntli.net>
from toedipper contained the following:

We've just had this. Why are you storing the session ID? Simply set a
session variable to true at the beginning of the session, check for it
before you write to the database, then set the session variable to
false.

e.g.
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['test'])){
$_SESSION['test']=true;
}

if($_SESSION['test']){
//write to database
$_SESSION['test']=false;
}
else{
//visitor already logged so do other stuff
}
