Hello, and I would like to thank everyone that attempts to help me out. I have looked long and hard online before I resorted to this. My problem is that I have a page that relies on multiple submits and data from what was submitted. example: // 1. some sort of drop down // 2. submit button // 3. display data retrieved from database // 4. user enters more information // 5. second submit button, run checks to vertify all data is entered
u mean when clicked.. the info like username are check whenever is valid or not?? perhaps u should try ajax
// 6. enter data into database
i don't get it what u mean in here??
The problem is in step 5, when the user hits the second submit and data is checked before db submission, I am losing the data displayed by the first submit button
hmm i don't get it by reading at the first. i think in the 2nd page u should try to make <input type=hidden name=user value=landa> this input contain what previous data enter... foreach($_POST as $nm=>$val){ $txt.="<input type=hidden name=$nm value=$val>"; } echo $txt;
This is what I have tried ive tried using POST and SESSION variables to display the data, but this doesnt work. this is because in my code i have an if isset statement to check if submit has been pressed, then the variables are retrieved from the db and used. when clicking the second submit button and checks are done, the top portion of the page of information retrieved by the first submit are nothing but blanks because the first submit is no longer set (using isset) my next idea was to save the variable selected in the first drop down (step 1) and requery with this selection at the second submit button to retrieve and redisplay the data. this did not work because this variable was set back to "" because the drop down resets itself on each submit. disabling the drop down if the first submit is set and then setting the variable did not work either because when the second submit is hit, the first submit is no longer set, so the drop down is displayed, the variable is set to "" and i get nothing in my variable. this also was the case if i made it a global variable.
i wish to see the offline from your pages.. if able send to me
so basically i have resorted to just googling things and trying out different arrangements of code to no avail. I need a way to hold the data on the top half of the screen while the bottom half is being manipulated. any, and i mean any help at this point would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you. Onochie
