hi i was just wondering how i would go about keeping user input in a field if an error occurs e.g. if i accidentally type in a special character into my form it will display a message saying : is not aloud or something like that but once this is shown all user input is lost so they would have to type it in again, ive tryed going online and i cant seem to find anything that works as it comes up with undifiened index <input type="text" name="clientname" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_post['clientname']);?> > aswell as this im really in need of a message that says success, ive got no clue how i would go about doing it. what i need is a message that says 'form submitted'once you press submit and when no errors occur. greatly apreciate anyone that can help
