You can but you have to re-write the data to the form or page yourself. It won't be automatic.

Here is a simple demo. If you enter your name and class in lower case, you will see it posted in uppercase when you click on submit. I did that so I could tell that it was being submitted.
<?php
$std_id = "Your Name";
$std_cls = "Your Class";
$age = "Age";
$gender = "Gender";
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$std_id = strtoupper($_POST['student']);
$std_cls = strtoupper($_POST['class']);
$age = $_POST['age'];
$gender = $_POST['gender'];
}
?>

I understand your example (form that posts to iteself)
but I dont understand what you mean
>>You can but you have to re-write the data to the form or page yourself. It won't be automatic.
a form within a function
maybe
if(isset($_POST['submit'])
repeat form again
but I dont understand what you mean

You said "when I press submit I am taken to the correct url, but there is no data on the page". I showed you how to put data on the page which you apparently already understand. And "can I have a form that posts to itself within a function". Posting to itself is easy but if you want to include it in a function, you do have to add the logic to do that and it has to be on the next page. If you were inserting variables in the form function above, you just have to get them from the POST variables like I did.

the page recreates itself when I go to
products.php?a=vpf&fid=43
but when I press submit
the page goes to
products.php?a=vpf&fid=43
but it is a blank page
products.php?a=vpf&fid=43
but when I press submit
the page goes to
products.php?a=vpf&fid=43
but it is a blank page

You need to look at your control statements like 'if' and 'case' to see what is blocking it. Look at the code where you function is being called.
