Seeding back the field values in html form

2 New Member
Hi All,
This is my first post and I am just stuck in my assignment. I am trying to create a single page which basically check whether a name field or text field includes text or not and display message accordingly. There are three field one drop down, two text field.
Now to access the name field I have to refresh the page I am basically using some php code to validate this field on the top of the form. Now whenever I refresh the page I loose all data but it does display the error message though.

Now the problem is how I will keep the data in the field and refresh the page.? And display yhe message as well.?

I have to do this through PHP only.

Thanx to all....!!!!!!

When you say 'refresh' are you sending the form? If so, you can just use the $_POST array to fill the fields.

You set the value of an input by the value attribute
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <input type="text" value="some value" />
You could set the value by php, assuming the POST array contains data, by doing this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <input type="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['value']){ echo $_POST['value'];}?>
You would obviously have to adapt this.

Hi, I have been working on some code that requires a high use of random numbers within. Mostly I either have to either: 1) flip a coin i.e. 0 or 1, or 2) generate a double between 0 and 1. I have utilised the following random number source code http://www.agner.org/random/ What I have found is that there is a problem with seeding. The code generates a seed based on time(0). I have found that I need to increment

I am using SQL 7 with an MS Access 2000 MDB front end, using bound forms with ODBC linked tables. In one form, the user needs to be able to check a box to select one or more records. This is accomplished with a local table containing two fields: the primary key value of the SQL table and a boolean field used for the check box. Since the local table used to contain the boolean field is local to the MDB file, the result is a heterogeneous...

Hi all, Is there any easy way to check a field for calues that have changed on a post back. So the page is sent to the user, the user changes some values and I need to know which ones changed.

I can't believe this is such an impossibility... I have an asp.net page. It accepts data through on form fields and includes a submit button. The page loads up and you fill out some stuff. The submit button posts the page back to the server. The button code detects an entry error and sends the page back to the user. This all works. However, if the user presses the Back button at this point, we go back and all the form values are...

In a regular html form, when user press "enter" key, the form will be submitted. However, in ASP.NET web form, a form will only be submitted (post back) when a special button is clicked. Many user get used to click "enter" key to submit a form. How can I use "enter" key to submit/postback in ASP.NET. Thank, Guoqi Zheng

Hi. Every time i post data in a form the contents are being checked for validity. When i click the back-button, all data is gone and i have to retype it. It's obvious that only a few or none of the visitors will retype it all so i'm asking: "how to preserve POST-data when clicking the back-button?" i've already tried to print post data as a value in a HTML tag but

Hi, In one of my pages, I use javascript (AJAX) to populate one mulitple select field based on user's click event on another control. I noticed that when I navigate back to this page by clicking browser's "Back" button, the changes made to the multiple select is not preserved. (It shows the initial value). While all the other user selections are preserved. Firefox seems fine. How do I workaround this issue for IE?
