To prevent users from resubmitting forms by using the back button, or refreshing the page, you need to follow a design pattern called Post Redirect Get.

Just make user stay on the same page through the whole process. So, no page to get back at all.

They call it /Post/Redirect/Get pattern. Very handy.

You could use:

   session_destroy();

Or you could put this at the top of the page. When user hits back it will make a request for a new copy of the page:

<?php 
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); 
header("Expires: Sat, 07 June 1982 09:00:00 GMT"); // Past date 
?>

You can use a token and set in a hidden filed, once form is submitted, you should read the value of that hidden field and store in a session and on previous page make a check that if session is set, redirect user elsewhere.
