txmedic03 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Okay so here's the situation. I have a form with multiple input elements and select elements and some of the select elements derive their values from a MySQL database, so naturally I want my target users to be able to add new entries to the database and then come back to what they were working on. The question is how do I get them to the form to enter new values into the database and then back to the main form without losing everything they already typed. I tried to do a top.location redirect propagating all the values in the $_GET array, but for some reason it would not work. I did it fine in a test file, but when I tried to redirect inside my main script it did absolutely nothing. I then tried using cookies, but could not get it to set cookies in javascript and then let me read them from PHP. I thought perhaps using the cookies with onChange for each element would be more efficient since this is for a company and I am installing their server and I have access to their entire network so I can make sure that they are accepting cookies from the local server. I am open to suggestions here. Oh and there are 27 variables to be tracked while the user moves from page to page.

fenway Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 And why can't you just save them to the DB? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/42722-maintaining-form-data/#findComment-207376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
