Help remembering form results

[zeroecko]

Hi,

I am fairly new to php programming.  I am creating a script that requires users to go between 2 pages.  Sadly, I cannot keep this to one page.  Anyway, I want to make the script remember what the form results were, even after leaving the page.

 

Right now, if I leave the page and go back, all values are reverted back to the default.  I am trying to create a store using php, but it is not working out.  I was hoping to avoid using a database, or delete the information off the database after I am done.

 

Any help on this would be great.

on the page your form posts to:

 

put this at the top of both pages:

 

session_start();

 

then save the post variables into session variables

 

$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];

 

then on the page where you have your form, set value="$_SESSION['username']" and if it's empty it won't matter so you don't have any need for an if statement

 

hope that helps
