wwedude Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I have a form, which recording process, when the users get there the data is all filled up using values and php variables. I have set it to readonly, so they see this data, can't edit it, and then they press submit. Is there a way I could not show the values, and just have a submit button. Thanks!

TheFilmGod Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 why don't save the data in a php session? this would make life 100 times easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may expire, but as I understand, as long as the browser hasn't been shut off, the session should be valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, that won't make anyone's life 100 times simpler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFilmGod Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It does boil down to personal choice whether something is easier or simpler, but there's a HUGE security risk in using hidden forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 That there is. Anyone can go in there and change the data held in the hidden field, and then submit the form. I personally am in agreement with theFilmGod that a session would probably be a better solution for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
