I am newish to PHP and I seem to be having an issue with an insert statement that executes twice when I open this page to view a document. In the database the 2nd insert is 1 second later. It happens in google chrome only and on this page only. IE has no issue, I dont have firefox to check.
view_document.php
<?php
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/../includes/core.php');
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/../includes/connect.php');
$webusername = $_SESSION['webname'];
if (isset($_GET['document'])) {
$ainumber = (int) $_GET['document'];
if (!ctype_digit($_GET['document']) || !preg_match('~^[0-9]+$~',$_GET['document']) || !is_numeric($_GET['document'])) {
$_SESSION = array();
session_destroy();
header('Location: login.php');
} else {
$stmt = $connect->prepare("SELECT s_filename, s_reference FROM dmsmain WHERE s_ainumber = ?") or die(mysqli_error());
$stmt->bind_param('s', $ainumber);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($filename, $reference);
$stmt->fetch();
$stmt->close();
$file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/../dms/files/'.$filename.'.
pdf';
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename='.basename($file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
readfile($file);
$stmt = $connect->prepare("INSERT INTO dmslog (s_reference, s_userid, s_lastactivity, s_actiontype) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)") or die(mysqli_error());
date_default_timezone_set('Africa/Johannesburg');
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$actiontype = 'DL';
$stmt->bind_param('ssss', $reference, $webusername, $date, $actiontype);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
} else {
$missing = "<b>File not found</b>";
}
}
}
?>
My HTTP access records I assume
[15/Nov/2012:10:14:32 +0200] "POST /dms/search.php HTTP/1.1" 200 5783 "http://www.denso.co.za/dms/search.php" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/23.0.1271.64 Safari/537.11"

I have checked my <img src=''> links and I dont see a problem with them.
The records indictate there is a favicon.ico request so I created a blank favicon and placed it in my public_html folder and linked it in the page like so <link href="../favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
Unfortunately that did not work as the statement still executes twice.
I am unsure if it is a favicon issue as my upload page uses an insert query and it executes once.
If someone could please tell me where I am going wrong or point me in the right direction I would be very grateful
