Controller function runs every time when page is refreshed using codeigniter

I have a single button. When I clicked on the button then it's called the function demo inside my testcontroller.I have to call the view page called as createsection also I have to call the model(For sending an email which is working).

After clicking on the button now I am on createsection page but when I fresh the page It's again calling demo function in the controller.

I just need on a single click to call view and also call the model in the background. User will get the view page and model can send the email.

welcome.php

<?php echo form_open('testcontroller/demo'); ?>
<button name="clicked">click me</button>
<?php echo form_close(); ?>

testcontroller/demo

class testcontroller extends CI_Controller {    
public function demo(){
    $email=$this->session->userdata('email');

    $this->load->view('createsection');

    $this->load->model('user_model');
    $id=$this->user_model->new_user($email);//passing email id in model to send the email

    //more code here..............
}
}

createsection (view page)

The user will get this page after clicking on the button.

   <?php echo form_open('testcontroller/confirm'); ?>
    <input type="text" name="code">
    <input type="submit" name="submit">
    <?php echo form_close(); ?>

I think, when you are refreshing the page newuser model function executing multiple times. You can avoid these problem by redirecting

class testcontroller extends CI_Controller {

    public function demo(){
        $email = $this->session->userdata('email');

        $this->load->model('user_model');
        // passing email id in model to send the email
        $id=$this->user_model->new_user($email); 

        redirect('testcontroller/demo_view/');
        //more code here..............
    }

    public function demo_view(){
        $this->load->view('createsection');
    }
}

Simple answer to your question is:

A function inside a Controller is not invoked on UI events but when the page is loaded.

For example, if you load the page testcontroller/demo, the demo() function is executed. If you load the page testcontroller/confirm, the confirm() function is executed. Of course, these functions should exist otherwise you would get a 404 not found error.

        public function index() {
            $this->load->view('welcome');
        }

        public function demo() {
            $this->load->view('createsection');
        }
        public function confirm(){

            $email=$this->session->userdata('email');

            $this->load->model('user_model');
            $return = $this->user_model->new_user($email);
