Passing variable to previous pages

[mjl4975]

I have a html form that is submitted to a php page that first checks for errors (if there is an error it redirects the user back original form) ab\nd if not submits the information to the database.

Currently if an error occurs the variables are sent back in the URL but this is causing errors to occur in the page with the original form.

The form is filled in if the variables exist.

Is there a way to get the variables that were original sent to the error processing page 2 pages in advance?

Just start a session and store them in it.

You can process your form in your same form page by using

<FORM ACTION="<?=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>" .........

You can use some flow-chart like this:

-- check form variables including submit button
$var1 = $POST["var1"];
$var2 = $POST["var2"];
$submit = $_POST["submit"];

-- If there is no Submit Button value >>
it means user didn't send it yet. So no error messages displayed.

-- if there is submit button but some fields are empty or wrong >>
display an error message

-- if there is submit button and everything is ok
thank you for submitting
go to this page

-- here is your form begins...
Form

Form element 1 with defaul value of $var1
Form element 2 with defaul value of $var2
Submit button

End form

Hope this helps...
