    It is default behavior. By refreshing the page you are submitting the form again so After inserting values into db add a redirect on the page and show welcome message on third page or use querystring to show success message on same page

    Suppose you are inserting form values in db in save.php
    $result = mysql_query($query);
header("Location: save.php?success=y"); // on the same page track if $success is equal to 'y' than show success msg.
    PHP:
    or redirect to a separate success screen page 

    header("Location: success_msg.php");
    PHP:
