Persistent form data?

[kdreg]

I just need someone to point me in the right direction. I've set up a form with captcha and if someone enters the wrong captcha info and returns to the form to fix it, the previously filled in data is wiped out. What do I need to add so that the information persists? Would it be a session or cookie or ????

 

Thanks.

Neither....

 

<?php

  echo'
  <form method="post action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'">
    <table>
       <tr><td><input type="text name="nombre" value="'.$_POST['nombre'].'"></td></tr>
       <tr><td><input type="submit name="submit value="doit!"></td></tr>
    </table>
  </form>';

?>

Thank you, Caesar.

 

I'm not sure if that would work in my case though... I'm very, very rusty though since I haven't been coding for so long and wasn't too proficient anyway.

 

My form already posts to a separate page that processes the submitted information and verifies the captcha and has other routines that hopefully prevent email injection. So I wouldn't be able to use or incorporate what you showed me, would I?

 

I already have:

<form method="post" action="procform.php">

 

So can't use this?

<form method="post" action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'">

 

Thank you.

Anyone????

 

I thought I'd try a cookie, testing with just the name field but it's still blank. Please, any guidance? I've been googling without success. Here's what I'm trying (I have a hidden field called BeenSubmitted in the form:

 

<?php

if ($BeenSubmitted) {

setcookie($_POST['Name']);

}

?>

Can someone explain why this doesn't work? (Sorry, the CODE button is not working for me to format the text below.) I need to get the form working and I've spent hours trying to find a solution, but I'm lost. Is this correct? Do I need to call the cookie out somehow?

 

<?php

 

if($_POST["submit"] == "Submit")

{

foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value) {

// if ($value != "");

// $message .= $key . ": " . stripslashes(trim($value)) . "\n"; {

setcookie($key, $value, time()+3600);}

// }

?>

Be much easier if you processed the form on the same page. You can include the code that does it, if the $_POST array has been set. *SHRUGS*

Thanks, when I have enough time I'll re-do the forms to submit to self and give that a try. Thanks.
