Form memory

[jaArch]

Hi:

 

How do I set up an input textbox so that it remembers the text a user entered?

 

      <form name="form1" method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" >
        <input name="myguess" type="text" value="">
        <input type="hidden" name="allTheGuesses" value = "">
        <input type="submit" value="GUESS">
      </form>      

 

I can't seem to figure it out

      <form name="form1" method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" >
        <input name="myguess" type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['myguess']; ?>">
        <input type="hidden" name="allTheGuesses" value = "<?php echo $_POST['allTheGuesses']; ?>">
        <input type="submit" value="GUESS">
      </form>

Thanks!

Also:

 

What is a $_POST PHP variable? Could I get an example to further help me understand?

An associative array of variables passed to the current script via the HTTP POST method.

 

$HTTP_POST_VARS contains the same initial information, but is not a superglobal. (Note that $HTTP_POST_VARS and $_POST are different variables and that PHP handles them as such)

Also keep in mind $HTTP_POST_VARS is deprecated.
