What are common causes for a PHP script to continuously count clicks without user interaction?

One common cause for a PHP script to continuously count clicks without user interaction is when the script is placed in a loop that is not properly controlled or limited. To solve this issue, you can implement a session-based mechanism to track user interactions and prevent multiple clicks from being counted within a short period of time. 

session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['last_click_time']) || time() - $_SESSION['last_click_time'] > 10) {
    // Count the click here
    $_SESSION['last_click_time'] = time();
}
