need help with php, forms and cookies

[oracle259]

Hi do you guys know of any way to save a form input in a cookie while the user is filling out that form and repopulate the form if the user returns to the page.

[marcus]

form:

[code]
<form name=fn action=page.php method=post>
<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3>
<tr><td>
Your Name:<td><input type=text name=name value="<?=$_COOKIE[name]?>">
<tr><td>
Next Field:<td><input type=text name=field1 value="<?=$_COOKIE[field1]?>">
<tr><td colspan=2>
<input type=submit value="Send">
</table>
</form>
[code]

then page.php

[code]
<?php
$name = $_POST[name];
$field1= $_POST[field1];

setcookie(name,$name);
setcookie(field1,$field1);

echo "info set";
?>
[/code]

then once you go back to the other page (not page.php) it should echo off the information in the text fields[/code][/code]
