How do I do this??

[webmaster]

I have setup a database to enter repairtags for our service department.
Everything works fine, but I would like to be able to display the
contents of the form that was submitted after I click the Submit
button. Now it goes to a page that says "Thankyou for your Submission".
Instead of that being displayed, I would like to display all of the
fields that were just entered, as well as a hidden field that creates a
ticket number.

Thanks you your help,

Greg

echo '<ul>';
echo '<li>Foo: ' . htmspecialchars($_POST['foo']) . '</li>';
echo '<li>Bar: ' . htmspecialchars($_POST['bar']) . '</li>';
echo '</ul>';

Or

echo '<ul>';
foreach($_POST as $name => $value){
echo '<li>' . htmlspecialchars($name) . ': ' . htmlspecialchars($value) . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';

Thanks, that did the trick! Except for the hidden field that is
assigned a number by the database. Nothing is entered for that field so
nothing is displayed. Is there a way to pull that from the database and
display it on the page?

Thanks again,

Greg

Greg,

Depends on what your database is and how the column in the table is
populated.

For MySQL and an auto-increment column, look up the LAST_INSERT_ID() and
mysql_insert_id() functions.

For Oracle, use INSERT INTO .... RETURNING
