forms loose info

[ahasanat]

Hi,

I have a form which the user can use to enter info in the textfields . The form loose the information the user entered if the user clicked on submit and need go back to correct any info entered or to review the info. However, if I remove the
session_start();
session_register("merchid");
session_register("password");
this seems to fix the problem and the info will hold in the form.
. I need to keep the session for keeping track of the user ID and Password.

If you can help or know any thing that might cause this problem, where and what to look for will be very helpful.

provide an own back-button, you can then echo
all values in the form input fields (u could save this data in the sesssion, too)

Try using the superglobal $_SESSION array instead of session register....it's what the world is coming to....

Then in your form:

Merchant ID#<input type=text name=merchid value=<?php echo $_SESSION['merchid']; ?> >

If you place the data into the $_SESSION array, it will be there whenever they access that form, could be quite handy 🙂
