Remembering values for a contact form error page
Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2009 5:36 pm
Hey,
I have created a contact form page on my website. It all works correctly but the thing I want to do is when there is an error in my form such as incorrect format for email address or missing field I want the error page to say 'Error. Please fill in all fields correctly and try again:' and below have the same form. So far I have done this, but the problem is the fields are all blank and the user would have to start again.
How can I remember the values from the previous page and have them pre-filled in on the error page?
This is the code for the contact form. (contact.php)
This is the code for the php send page. (sendeail.php)
And finally this is the error page. (error.php)
Thanks alot.
Tom.
