theBrent Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 elo! i'm new here and i need help. i have a registration form that receives user's input like firstname,lastname..etc. and of course a validation. the problem is when a user mistakenly inputs a wrong validation and tries to submit it the error message and the fields are cleared, and i think it's wrong it should still display the user's input. here is my code: <? /* Include Files *********************/ require_once 'library/config.php'; //include"login.php"; /*************************************/ require_once 'include/header.php'; $errorMessage = ''; $secret = md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), true)); $_SESSION['secret'] = $secret; $message = (isset($_GET['error']) && $_GET['error'] != '') ? $_GET['error'] : ''; ?> <style type="text/css"> #hintbox{ /*CSS for pop up hint box */ position:absolute; top: 0; background-color: lightyellow; width: 150px; /*Default width of hint.*/ padding: 3px; border:1px solid black; font:normal 11px Verdana; line-height:18px; z-index:100; border-right: 3px solid black; border-bottom: 3px solid black; visibility: hidden; } .hintanchor{ /*CSS for link that shows hint onmouseover*/ font-weight: bold; color: navy; margin: 3px 8px; } </style> <input type="hidden" name="secret" value="<?php echo $secret; ?>" /> <table width="795" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td> <?php require_once 'include/top.php';?> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" class="mainmenu"> <?php require_once 'include/mainmenu.php';?> </td> </tr> </table> <form action="registrationcomplete1.php" method="post" name="frmAddUser" id="frmAddUser" onsubmit='return formValidator()' > <table width="795" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="color:purple;font-family:arial;font-size:12px;font-weight:bold"> <tr> <td align="left" colspan="2" style="color:red"><?php echo $message; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center" style="font-size:12px;font-weight:bold">Notice: except for the secondary address, all fields are required to be filled up.
