Try the "GET" method in the form.

Subject: [PHP] Form data is not "remembered"
> Hi,
>
> I have a page with a couple of form fields that are being POSTed to a
> processing PHP script. The page that contains these form fields is itself
a
> PHP page that uses sessions and so on.
>
> I have to make "server-side data validation" on the fields because of
their
> complexity. When the user hits submit and comes to the result page, if
there
> was any error I ask the user to go back to the form and correct the
> mistakes, using either his browser BACK button or by clicking on a link
that
> does a javascript:history.back().
>
> The problem is, when the user gets back to the form page, all of the
values
> he had typed in are gone, and he has to start all over again. Does anyone
> have an idea why this is so, and how to circumvent it without saving the
> user data into a session variable and then setting it back again once the
> user hits the form page again ? I have seen many pages where your previous
> data would stay in the form after you make a "Back" operation, but here,
it
> disappears.

> Thanks for any ideas, and have a very nice day.
