php mysql 更新字段,用PHP更新MySQL字段的问题

I have a query:

UPDATE choices SET votes = votes + 1 WHERE choice_id = '$user_choice'

But when I execute it in my script, the votes field is updated twice, so the votes will go from 4 to 6 instead to 5. It doesn't seem that it is getting called twice because I echo out stuff to test this and only get one echo. Is there a way to have it so PHP will only execute this query once per page "refresh"?

EDIT: Thanks for the responses, I'm using regular MySQL, no MySQLi or PDO. Another thing I found is that when doing the query, it works when you start out with 0 and update to 1, but then after that it goes 3, 5, 7, ...

One other option is, if you are using firefox at all and have firbug installed you need to disable your cache. For some reason firbug results in two calls to the dB. Took weeks to figure this out where I work as QA was getting all kinds of strange results when testing. he was the only one with firebug.
