keeping information on a page when you go back

69 New Member
Hi Guys,

I have a form that has input fields.

when the user presses submit a next page opens up to display whatever msgs need to be displayed. If the msg is an error and the go back by pressing the back arrow button on the browser menu, all the info that they entered previosly is lost. Can someone tell me a way to work around that. Or even display the message on the same page so that they wouldnt have to go back in the first place.

action="<?=$HTT P_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post" is within my form tag.

Well, I assume that the page that is being submitted has all of its entries validated and that is where the error is coming from. I don't know PHP, but you can have it reload the last page again with the values that were submitted to it, in the case of an error, and then highlight the entries needing correcting in something like red font color.

Just an idea.

Regards,

Jeff

Since you are using PHP and this is the HTML/CSS forum, I will move your thread over to the PHP forum to get it answered.

Without seeing exactly how your code is currently setup you may be able to try editing your input values on your form to something like what I have posted below. Of course you will need to change "coName" in both places to whatever your field names are called.


[PHP]<input name="coName" value="<?php echo $_POST['coName']?>" size=30 maxlength=100 tabindex="1">[/PHP]

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
