forms and header

Recommended Posts

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.

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
}

Good example.
