Keeping Form Data until Post

[Anon]

I have a form setup that accepts about 10 fields of data. I need to add some error handling into them, but I also want the form data to be maintained until a successful post has been made. This way if there is an error, it can be flagged and the user can go back without having to re-enter all the data. Any Web sites or sample code is appreciated!

This is generally easy: just set the value of the fields based on the variable itself, e.g.:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"test\" value=\"$test\">";

The first time the form is loaded, $test will not be defined, and the field will be empty. But after a POST, it will exist, so if you decide to resdisplay the form the field will have its previous contents.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it try. I figured it was something simple.
