You have it backwards. This can all be done in a single script with this
structure:
1. Check to see if there is any incoming data. If there is incoming data,
validate it, and insert into your database.
2. Display data from your database.
3. Present an empty form.
In your form tag, use POST="" with null value, which causes results to go
back to same page.
