[alan123]

Hi,

Can anyone help me to find solution?
I want to submit a form which contains name,age... through text box, how can I make these data stay in the box after I submit the form? usually all data's gone after clicking submit button.

thanks

Two questions:

1.) Where does the form submit to? Self, a script, another page?
2.) What type of page are you submitting to? ASP, CF, PHP, HTML, etc.

Hi,

The form submit data to database through PHP, meanwhile after submitting I want it return to its own page with name,age stay on the box, user just enter other box so they don't have to type those personal info again.

either session varibles of set a cookie -- also are you posting or getting? --

a session variable would work best

session_register("fieldname"

then just <? print '$HTTP_GET_VARS['filedname'] ?>

<? print &quot;Welcome $HTTP_GET_VARS['fieldname'] -- To my site!&quot; ?>

or something along this line...once you figure it out if you could post your code I would appreciate it as i am learing php myself
