Going back to page erases mysql data

RTS · August 27, 2006

I have a page which has several textboxes which add text to different places in my mysql datatbase. thne strange thing is that every time I type in the textbox, and submit it it goes in the database, but later, when I go back to the page with the textboxes, it automatically deletes the info in the database. is there something extra i need to do? heren is my code for the page with textboxes.
