A forum. You have two submit buttons, one labeled 'draft' and one
labeled 'final'.

If the user uses the draft button, the forum displays a preview of the
user's post for them to edit. If they use the 'final' button, then
their post gets put straight into the forum, typos and all.

<form name="myForumPost">
 <textarea name="text"></textarea>
 <input name="submit" name="submit" value="draft">
 <input name="submit" name="submit" value="final">
</form>

<?php
switch ($_POST['submit']) {
 case 'draft': // display draft of the post for the user to review.
   break;
 case 'submit': // save final version of post in forum.
   break;
 default: // someone's being silly.
}
?>
