Store Information from FORM

mikerh9

I wrote php/html Sign up script. So the form gets all information and than PHP checks if information is valid(like password 6 characters and etc). So if something wrong during the checking process. The error message is dispaly and shows the form again. But with no information. So I need to insert the information again. How can I save the information in the form? So I can edit the information in the form again and again

Thanks

When it shows the form, do something like this:

<input type="text" name="FirstName" value="<?=$FirstName;?>">

When $FirstName is set, your text box will have the value of the first name. When it is not set, your text box will be empty... like the first time someone attempts to sign up.

This works for <input> tag but not for <textarea tag>

the variable of $misc exist.
The tag is given below:

<td><textarea style="width:250px" class="boxshadow" name="misc" cols="40" rows=5 wrap=auto value="<?=$misc?>"
