Keeping data in form

[distant]

How can I keep whatever I write in the form?

[mraza]

what do you mean by keep?

you wants to store in database?

you wants to send email of that form?

or anything else?

 

plz explain

[distant]

Thanks for replying mraza

I mean keeping an username and password on the field of the form once I click submit. Hope that's clear.

Not sure why you'd want that, but you can use the value attribute of the input element.

 

like:

<?php
$username = $_POST['username];
?>
<input type="text" name="username" value="<?php echo $username ?>" />

[mrMarcus]

<input type="text" name="username" value="<?php echo $_POST['username']; ?>" />

 

change out 'username' for your value(s), and do the same for any other form fields you want.

this is what I got and I want the username and pass to stay in the flield once i submit it.

 

 

 

$message = "<p>Please enter your login information below:</p>" ;

$tempUsername = ($_POST["username"]) ;

$tempPass = ($_POST["password"]) ;

$congrats = "<span class='stylesheet'><p>Congrats, you successfully logged in.<p/></span>" ;

$sorry = "<span class='style1'><p>Sorry, your username and password combo was not correct, please try again.</p></span>" ;

 

 

if (isset($_POST ['submit']))

{

if($tempUsername == "Michael")

{

echo $congrats ;

}

elseif($tempPass == "pass")

{

echo $Congrats ;

}

else echo $sorry ;

}

else echo $message ;

 

 

 

 

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="login.php">

  <p>

      <label for="username">Username:</label><br />

      <input type="text" name="username" id="username" value="" />

  </p>

  <p>

      <label for="password">Password:</label><br />

      <input type="text" name="password" id="password" value="" />

  </p>

  <p><input name="submit" type="submit" /></p>

</form>

Well like we said: add the value attributes to your input tags like this:

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="login.php">
  <p>
      <label for="username">Username:</label><br />
      <input type="text" name="username" id="username" value="<?php echo $tempUsername?>" />
  </p>
  <p>
      <label for="password">Password:</label><br />
      <input type="text" name="password" id="password" value="<?php echo $tempPass?>" />
  </p>
  <p><input name="submit" type="submit" /></p>
</form>
