How to save fields form

Hi!

Have this form :

    <table width="100%" align="left" class="formsql">
	
	<tr class="blank_row_noborder">

I use this form o a webpage (php), and show the result from the selections.

My problem is that a query is executed, every time the same page is loaded.

I need a way to store the selected values from the form.
So the next time the page is loaded, it show the user the same selected values.

How can i do this ?

The general design would be one of these...

(1) Copy the selected POST variables into the PHP session, and copy the session variables back into the HTML form at the time the form was regenerated.

(2) Do the same, but use a data base table instead of the session. This method allows long persistence, whereas the session will only persist the variables as long as the client keeps the browser open and active.

More information on PHP sessions is here:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/PHP/A_11909-PHP-Sessions-Simpler-Than-You-May-Think.html

Code example:
<?php // RAY_remember_form_data.php
error_reporting(E_ALL);


// DEMONSTRATE HOW TO REMEMBER FORM DATA FROM ONE FORM SUBMISSION TO THE NEXT


// USE THE SESSION ARRAY TO STORE THE FORM VALUES
session_start();

// INITIAL TRIP INTO THE SCRIPT
if (!isset($_SESSION["formname"]))
{
    // INITIALIZE THE VALUES FOR USE IN THE FORM LATER
    $_SESSION["formname"] = '';
    $_SESSION["formmail"] = '';
}

// TEST TO SEE IF THE FORM HAS BEEN POSTED
if (!empty($_POST))
{
    // COPY THE POST VALUES INTO THE SESSION
    $_SESSION["formname"] = $_POST["formname"];
    $_SESSION["formmail"] = $_POST["formmail"];

    // ACKNOWLEDGE THE POST (TEST CAPTCHA HERE, MAYBE?)
    echo "THANK YOU, " . htmlentities($_POST["formname"]);
    echo "<br/>";

    // OTHER PROCESSING AS NEEDED
    die("ALL DONE");
}

// CREATE THE FORM USING HEREDOC SYNTAX
$form = <<<FORM
<form method="post">
NAME: <input name="formname" value="{$_SESSION["formname"]}" />
MAIL: <input name="formmail" value="{$_SESSION["formmail"]}" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
FORM;

echo $form;

Hi!

On top of my page i use:

session_start();


Then i use this code:

 if (isset($_POST['submit']))  {
    
      $datofra = $_POST["date1"];
  	  $datotil = $_POST["date2"];
	  $svarsp = $_POST["svar"];
	  $kontr = $_POST["kontroller"];
	  $brukere = $_POST["brukere"];
	  $vilkenrapport = $_POST["rapport"];
	  $datobrukes = $_POST["datobrukes"]; 
	  $viserapport=1;
	  
	  $_SESSION['kontroller'] = $_POST['kontroller'];
   }

Open in new window


And then i set value in control like this:

<select id="recipient" name="kontroller" tabindex="6"  value="<?php echo $_SESSION['kontroller'];?>" class="selmenu">

Open in new window


But when i select somthing, it dosent remember the selected value ?
Try using var_dump() to print out the contents of the variables.  Also, please read the article.  I have yet to see session_start() in any of your code snippets.  It is required if you want to use the PHP session.  If you omit it, your script can put data into $_SESSION but the data will be lost across the requests and PHP will not tell you about it!

You may also want to learn about the <select> control.  It does not have a value attribute -- it only has the name attribute.  The <option> control has the value attribute.
Hi!

This code:

echo "<option ";
if( $_POST["kontroller"] == $navnkon) echo ' selected="selected"';
echo ">$navnkon</option>";

It works after first time i have clicked button -> submit

But first time the form is shown, i get 1 value, but next value is:

Notice: Undefined index kontroller in.....

What is wrong ?
Please go back to this answer.  It is self-contained and teaches exactly what you're trying to do here.  If you follow those design concepts you will get good results.  The troubles you're having now are almost certainly the product of a logic error, but it would be impossible for us to guess what is wrong with the script from a single if() statement.

If you're still having difficulties after you review the earlier response please prepare the SSCCE that demonstrates your difficulty and post it here.  I'll try to help you with the example.
Hi!

Have followed your example, and done this:

Top of page i set session:
session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION["formname"]))
{
    // INITIALIZE THE VALUES FOR USE IN THE FORM LATER
    $_SESSION["kontroller"] = '';
}

Open in new window


Afther this i use: (where i know Submit is clicked

$_SESSION["kontroller"] = $_POST["kontroller"];

Open in new window





Then i set the value of listbox:

 <select id="recipient" name="kontroller" tabindex="6" class="selmenu" value="{$_SESSION["kontroller"]}">

Open in new window


But this dosent work ?
What is "formname?"  Wouldn't you want to use "kontroller?"
Hi!

Ok, fixed that.

But still dosent work ?
Please read the man page about the SSCCE, then post the failing script in the form of the SSCCE that demonstrates the failure, thanks.  We can't really help with vague things like "doesn't work."
Hi!

Sorry, but i cant find any thing wrong here:

Top of page i set session:

session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION["formname"]))
{
    // INITIALIZE THE VALUES FOR USE IN THE FORM LATER
    $_SESSION["kontroller"] = '';
}
                                           

Afther this i use: (where i know Submit is clicked

$_SESSION["kontroller"] = $_POST["kontroller"];
                                           


Then i set the value of listbox:

 <select id="recipient" name="kontroller" tabindex="6" class="selmenu" value="{$_SESSION["kontroller"]}">
                                           

I dont know what is wrong with this code ?
Please, please work with me here!  I need to see your

http://sscce.org/

and then I can show you exactly what is wrong and exactly how to fix it.

That's not the SSCCE.  The SSCCE has all of the irrelevant parts removed, so that the problem is isolated and reproducible.

Once upon a time in the history of PHP this scripts would have worked because of a security hole called Register Globals.  Please read this article to understand why Register Globals was removed.
https://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/PHP/A_7317-Register-Globals-a-bad-idea-from-day-one.html

The reason it would have worked is because of this variable:

$_SESSION["kontroller"]

In the Register Globals world, that would have caused the injection of $kontroller into the symbol table.

To find the problem, I relied on your earlier assertion that this statement was in the script:

<select id="recipient" name="kontroller" tabindex="6" class="selmenu" value="{$_SESSION["kontroller"]}">

I searched the script for all occurrences of $_SESSION["kontroller"] expecting to find it in the select tag (more on that later).  I did not find it; instead I found a different variable on line 250.  According to my code scanner, this is an undefined variable.

This script should probably be refactored by a professional programmer.  In no particular order, these are the things that need to be fixed.

1. You must get off the MySQL extension because PHP is doing away with it.  The article explains why and what you must do to keep your scripts running.
https://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/PHP/PHP_Databases/A_11177-PHP-MySQL-Deprecated-as-of-PHP-5-5-0.html

2. You must start programming with error_reporting(E_ALL) which would have alerted you to such things as an undefined variable.

3. You probably want to learn to use comments and coding standards to make the code more readable.

4. You need to understand how select and option tags work.  The select tag contains the name= attribute.  The option tag contains the value= attribute.  In this script, the generated HTML will likely be useless because there will not be any values.
