I'm have a PHP created HTML form that I want a user to be able to enter data
into, then see it as the PHP/HTML will format it, then post it to an HTML file.
I've been trying all day to find something similar on your site, but to no
avail.
I am really new to PHP so I may not have done things the easy way. The code
below outputs the proper data, but it does it without user concent. I'd like
to have the user review what they typed prior to posting it to dates.htm.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Mike
code as follows:
<?php
//-------------------------INITIALIZE VARIABLES
$filename = 'dates.htm';
$handle = fopen($filename, "rb");
$old = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);
$date = $_REQUEST['date'] ;
$title = $_REQUEST['title'] ;
$desc = $_REQUEST['desc'] ;
$place = $_REQUEST['place'] ;
$cost = $_REQUEST['cost'] ;
$info = $_REQUEST['info'] ;
//-------------------------DISPLAY FORM
if (!isset($_REQUEST['date']))
{
?>
