Confirmation of input!

[toltec75]

So I have a user which types his data into the form, presses OK and on the second page he gets a display of his data and a chance to process it into the database or to alter it so that those informations are again loaded into the form where he can make all the neccessary changes!

How do I load the data into the form again where the user can change it!

it`s a bit of a hurry and I`m not asking for the whole code but just a hint or an advice!

Thank you!

If it is text boxes you could probably add

value="$_POST['value']"

to your inputs. Just use the posted data where you would normally set the default values for other inputs.

Hope this helps

Yeah I know that one, but I wanna display the data the user typed in a table or whatever, not in the form again! and then give him the oportunity to load that data again in the form if he wants to change it or to just click OK and process it into the database!

I`ve figured I could put the value of hidden text fields to what the user typed, and that could load data into forms again but I also have radio buttons as well and I think there`s probably a better way of doing this!

I usually use the hidden values method and then give them the 2 buttons 'continue' and 'back'.

works just fine

Well, I guess i`ll just use it then! Thanx guys!

Hmm, how exactly do I get back to previous page in PHP? Is there a special function for that, cause clicking on a link that would lead to previous page would most probably delete all the user input!

or am I mistaken?

I`m actually asking these questions on behalf of a friend so I have no way of checking it out myself!

[jatar_k]

you could just actually use

javascript:history.back();

that doesn't pass a full refresh (usually). or you could repost the form to the original page and fill in the values as mentioned before.

OK! I`ll check it out!
