I have a simple php file that inserts 1 row into a db. It's in a
directory with a mod_rewrite in a .htaccess file. The mod_rewrite
appears to be causing the php script to be run twice for every page
request because it inserts two rows into the db for each page request.
If I remove the .htaccess then it works fine. Can someone tell me why
this is happening and how I can fix it? Here is my php file

test.php
---------------------------
$db = mysql_connect('localhost', 'xxxxx', 'xxxxx');
mysql_select_db('xxxxxx');
echo 'create cache' . "
\n";
$query1 = "insert into searches (keywordId, relatedId)
values('1','764419')";
mysql_query($query1);
?>
---------------------------

here is my .htaccess
---------------------------
