How to redisplay form after submit


AdRock

Recommended Posts

This is probably a really simple question but i've had too many beers and I can't think straight.

I have a form where i can update a text file but what I would like to do is to re-display the form with the updated info so if the user wants to update the text file they can.

At the moment I have it so when the user submits a value in the form a message is displayed.  I would like the form displayed with the new value

Here is my code (the bottom bit is where it is needed)
[code]<?
$myFile = "../includes/thermometer/testFile.txt";
$name = $_POST['fund']; // vars from form
$fund = file_get_contents($myFile);
$empty_fields_message = "<p>Please go back and complete all the fields in the form.</p>Click <a class=\"two\" href=\"javascript:history.go(-1)\">here</a> to go back";
$thankyou_message = "<p>Thankyou. Current fund amount has been updated.</p>";
?>

At the top you say

[code]$name = $_POST['fund'];[/code]

But in the form you put

[code]<? echo $fund; ?>[/code]

Maybe that should be echo $name ?

But that doesn't make so much sense, since you only display the form if $_POST['fund'] is not set.  I am very confused now :)
