I've had the same thing happen on occasion.  The problem is that the
browser cache is pulled up instead of the PHP page.  It really is annoying
since the databases I use show that the entries were entered properly.  So,
my solution is to put a "refresh" link that will update the page, which
works but is not attractive for those who have to use it.

Hope this helps!
