I am creating a reg form and basically if the user fails to register correctly it sends them back to the error page with an error message, all the fields are blank, i always assumed the browser remembered what the user input, obviously not...


How is this normally done?

usually like this

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="fieldname"<?php
if(isset($_POST['fieldname'])){
    echo "value=\"{$_POST['fieldname']}\"";
}
?>
>

im not submitting it to the same page, but a processing page, therefore POST is not an option

I always place the processing code on the same page as the form for this reason. Your other option is to store it all in cookies or a session, not a good idea for passwords and the like.

And why isn't POST an option? No reason... :lol:
You can use POST. It will work just fine.
