remember form values using PHP session
I have a PHP webpage with a form with 6 values. A submit button passes these 6 values as parameters via GET method to another PHP file.
After I press the browser "back" button, these 6 values appear empty.
How can I make them appear like they was the last time instead than empty?
Someone told me that there is a solution with cookie and a solution via PHP session. I'm interested in the solution via PHP session.

I looked at those pages but they seems complete guides to PHP session while I only need a once-in-a-life solution for a single webpage.
Do you know a solution described in less than 1 page?

I tested the shobinsun's code but it doesn't show the text that the user entered last time. It always show the text "shobin". How can I make it show the text that the user entered last time?
Hi,
Use this in session1.php:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['userName']=$_PO
?>
Use this in session1.php:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['userName']=$_PO
?>

beautiful, it works!
but it doesn't work if I choose the GET method.
I need necessarily to use the GET method because I want to show the 6 parameters in the URL.
How can I make it work with the GET method?

I should apply it here: http://alturl.com/74oj
It should remember the six entered values after the user submit them to get the results page and come back to the homepage.
