Lyricsride Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I know that it's not straight forward as in "echo value into value attribute". But is there a function or SOMETHING to solve this issue? Is it utterely impossible?Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31747-solved-make-file-fields-sticky-in-forms-how/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyricsride Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 the concept of having sticky forms, with values that remember the previous input if authentication fails. the usual way of echoing data into the value attribute of html does not work with file fields.

pacome Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I've got this working just fine... it's standard html and I echo the comment if some variable is missing, only the passwords, or the incorrect data misses being printed again<td valign="bottom" width="250px" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" ><textarea class="textarea" name="comentario"><?php echo $coment; ?></textarea></td> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31747-solved-make-file-fields-sticky-in-forms-how/#findComment-147342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacome Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 and for the rest I use the value='<?php echo $yourvar; ?>' and does the trick too..

Destruction Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 The file field browse button/option is clientside. PHP isn't sent the "local" location of the file on the users computer. So you cannot use PHP to "sticky" a file field.Dest Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31747-solved-make-file-fields-sticky-in-forms-how/#findComment-147367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
