Transfering the $_POST array

[onlyteo]

Hey ppl, hope you can help me with this.

I have a HTML form in a PHP page which is parsed by another PHP script when submitted. If i detect an error or illegal entry in the form i return to the form page with an error message which has been stored in the $_SESSION array.

What i need is to also transfer the $POST array back so that the user do not need to re-enter all the form data. Any clues? And i do NOT want to use the $SESSION array and neither do i want to implement Curl!

Only reply to this post if you have a solution!

Thanx in advance
Teo

What you need to do is submit from the page back to itself, then the $_POST array will be inherently available.

So set the default values for the form based on the contents of the $_POST, or if absent set them to the previous defaults from the database or wherever.

This is what I do universally- it works very well.

I've got a function on my Smarty class which assigns a field based on the $_POST if present, and takes a default value otherwise. This works very well.
