form with a twist

[buzzby]

i know this is possible with asp because i have seen it, but i would like to know if it is possible have a php script check your form and tell you what fields you have missed out on the same form that you r filling in. so while you can what fields you have missed on the same form that you are fillin out, so in essence you are fillin in the blank fields while leaving the fileds filled with information

hopefully this link will explain it.

try fillin in 2 or 3 fields (intentionally) and see what it returns. is this possible thru using php??

Of course it can be done.

Basically, you echo out any entered variables in their respective value attributes in the form elements, e.g.

<input type="text" name="varname" value="<?php
if (!empty($_POST['varname'])) {
	echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($_POST['varname']));
}
?>
