Hello, I am trying to use sessions to retain the value of the text fields in a form, if the user does not complete the form, the users is redirected to the form, BUT the form fields are refreshed. I want what ever the user filled into the form to appear when the user is redirected to the form. PLEASE help with any suggestions. TIA, Tara Here is my code------------- index2.php <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['fname'] = $_REQUEST['fname']; $_SESSION['lname'] = $_REQUEST['lname']; $_SESSION['sname'] = $_REQUEST['sname']; $_SESSION['grade'] = $_REQUEST['grade']; $_SESSION['address'] = $_REQUEST['address']; $_SESSION['city'] = $_REQUEST['city']; $_SESSION['state'] = $_REQUEST['state']; $_SESSION['zip'] = $_REQUEST['zip']; $_SESSION['email'] = $_REQUEST['email']; if (!isset($_SESSION['msg'])) $_SESSION['msg']="* All fields are required fields"; ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title> Halloween Smiles Program</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body topmargin="0px"><table align="center"><tr><td class="form"> <form action="send_form.php" method="post"> <table> <tr><td colspan="2"><img src="title.jpg"></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" align="left" class="text"><?php print $_SESSION['msg'] ?></td></tr> <tr><td class="title">First Name: </td><td><input size="30" name="fname" type="text" value="<?php print $_SESSION['fname'] ?>"></td></tr> <tr><td class="title">Last Name: </td><td><input size="30" name="lname" type="text" value="<?php print $_SESSION['lname'] ?>"></td></tr> <tr><td class="title">School Name: </td><td><input size="30" name="sname" type="text" value="<?php print $_SESSION['sname'] ?>"></td></tr> <tr><td class="title">Grade: </td><td><input size="30" name="grade" type="text" value="<?php print $_SESSION['grade'] ?>"></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" align="left" class="text"><br>Please provide the mailing address you would like your wall poster <br> and memory album shipped to:<br></td> </tr> <tr><td class="title">Street Address: </td><td><input size="30" name="address" type="text" value="<?php $_SESSION['address'] ?>"></td></tr> <tr><td class="title">City: </td><td><input size="30" name="city" type="text" value="<?php $_SESSION['city'] ?>"></td></tr> <tr><td class="title">State: </td><td><input size="30" name="state" type="text" value="<?php $_SESSION['state'] ?>"></td></tr> <tr><td class="title">Zip: </td><td><input size="30" name="zip" type="text" value="<?php $_SESSION['zip'] ?>"></td></tr> <tr><td class="title">Email address: </td><td><input size="30" name="email" type="text" value="<?php $_SESSION['email'] ?>"></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" align="left" class="text"><br>Would you like to receive future emails from bsmmedia.com on <br>special offers?
