amarkabove Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 i have two questions. first how do i go about keeping values in a form that the user has submitted but there are errors. so when the page goes back to be resubmitted how do i make sure that the values they have already submitted remain on the form. second what is the proper usage of header(location:http://) i've tried it and just doesn't work.

Stooney Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 This belongs in php help. For the forms, you could use sessions. header("Location: index.php"); //Replace index.php with anything. http://site.com/index.php?page=1 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/94832-forms-and-header/#findComment-485737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadonarrival Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Personally in the form I use <input type="text" name="username" value="<?php echo $username; ?>" /> etc, and include the form after my processing. If you want a field not to be displayed, unset() it. eg (I'll psuedo this, no point making a working example unless you need to see one, let me know) if(submitted) { process if(errors) { unset bad variables include form } else { code/headers to execute if no errors } } else { include form } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/94832-forms-and-header/#findComment-485957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
