What I mean is when the users clicks submit, and the form is handled and
some information is lacking, it retains what information was given.
What I eventually did was:
foreach($state_list as $key=>$value){
if($selected_state == $key){
$sel = 'selected="selected"';
}
else{
$sel = '';
}
echo "<option $sel value=\"$key\">$value</option>";
}
echo '</select>';
?>
And then put
if (!empty($_POST))
{
$selected_state = $_POST['State'];
}
At the beginning of the scripts.
Full script:
<?php
if (!empty($_POST))
{
$selected_state = $_POST['State'];
}
if (isset($_POST['SUBMIT'])) { // Handle the form.
$message = NULL; // Create an empty new variable.
// Check for a name.
if (strlen($_POST['FirstName']) > 0) {
$FirstName = TRUE;
} else {
$FirstName = FALSE;
$message .= '<p>You forgot to enter your first name.</p>';
}
if (strlen($_POST['LastName']) > 0) {
$LastName = TRUE;
} else {
$LastName = FALSE;
$message .= '<p>You forgot to enter your last name.</p>';
}
// Check for an email address.
if (strlen($_POST['Email']) > 0) {
$Email = TRUE;
} else {
$Email = FALSE;
$message .= '<p>You forgot to enter your email address.</p>';
}
//Check for Address
if (strlen($_POST['Address']) > 0) {
$Address = TRUE;
} else {
$AddreSS= FALSE;
$message .= '<p>You forgot to enter your address.</p>';
}
//Check for City
if (strlen($_POST['City']) > 0) {
$City = TRUE;
} else {
$City = FALSE;
$message .= '<p>You forgot to enter your city.</p>';
}
//Check for Zip
if (strlen($_POST['Zip']) > 0) {
$Zip = TRUE;
} else {
$Zip = FALSE;
$message .= '<p>You forgot to enter your zip code.</p>';
}
//Check for Comments
if (strlen($_POST['Comments']) > 0) {
$Commentsbody=$_POST['Comments'];
$Comments = TRUE;
} else {
$Comments = FALSE;
$message .= '<p>You forgot to enter any comments.</p>';
}
if ($FirstName && $LastName && $Email && $Address && $City && $Zip &&
$Comments) { // If everything's okay.
// Register the user.
// Send an email.
$body = "Your comments were: \n\n ' $Commentsbody ' \n\n We will
repsond to your e-mail shortly.\n\nSincerely,\nMSD Computing";
mail ($_POST['Email'], 'Thank you for contacting MSD Computing.',
$body, 'From: admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
header ('Location: thankyou.php');
exit();
} else {
$message .= '<p>Please try again.</p>';
}
}
$page_title="Contact MSD Computing";
include ('../phpinclude/header.inc');
if (isset($message)) {
echo '<strong></strong><font color="#9B1003" size=4>', $message,
'</font></strong>';
}
?>
