Hello Everyone, I'm new.

 

I've got a question regarding a return button on my form. What is suppose to happen is a user can enter information about a lesson plan, then you can submit the lesson plan by email or display it in a preview format for printing. The problem I'm having is in my preview section of code the return button returns me to the orginal form, but I require the variables to be displayed that were previously entered and currently the variables are not returning. If anyone can help thanks.

 

This is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<title>Lesson Plan</title>

<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="../style.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

</head>

<body>

 

<fieldset>

<legend>Lesson Plan</legend>

<form method="GET" name="LessonPlanForm" action="/TrainingDatabase/LessonPlan/index.php">

Before your next post, please take the time to read the red writing right above the post button, names the Rules.

 

All your code should be posted within the code tags.  Aside from you not reading the rules before posting here is an example of how to accomplish what you want:

 

<?php
if (isset($_POST['Return'])) {
    if (empty($_POST['test']) || $_POST['test'] != 'test') {
          $error = 1;
    }
  
   if ($error != 1) {
           echo "Thank you for submitting your information";
           exit;
   }
}
?>
<form name="testform" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post">
<input type="text" name="test" value="<?php echo $_POST['test']; ?>" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Return" name="Return" />
</form>

 

I believe that is what you were looking for, if "test" was not entered into that text box it errors and puts what was previously written back in after the submit buttons was pushed...
