Hello, and I would like to thank everyone that attempts to help me out. I
have looked long and hard online before I resorted to this.
My problem is that I have a page that relies on multiple submits and data
from what was submitted. example:
// 1. some sort of drop down
// 2. submit button
// 3. display data retrieved from database
// 4. user enters more information
// 5. second submit button, run checks to vertify all data is entered
// 6. enter data into database
The problem is in step 5, when the user hits the second submit and data is
checked before db submission, I am losing the data displayed by the first
submit button
This is what I have tried
ive tried using POST and SESSION variables to display the data, but this
doesnt work. this is because in my code i have an if isset statement to
check if submit has been pressed, then the variables are retrieved from the
db and used. when clicking the second submit button and checks are done, the
top portion of the page of information retrieved by the first submit are
nothing but blanks because the first submit is no longer set (using isset)
my next idea was to save the variable selected in the first drop down (step
1) and requery with this selection at the second submit button to retrieve
and redisplay the data. this did not work because this variable was set back
to "" because the drop down resets itself on each submit. disabling the drop
down if the first submit is set and then setting the variable did not work
either because when the second submit is hit, the first submit is no longer
set, so the drop down is displayed, the variable is set to "" and i get
nothing in my variable. this also was the case if i made it a global
variable.
so basically i have resorted to just googling things and trying out
different arrangements of code to no avail. I need a way to hold the data on
the top half of the screen while the bottom half is being manipulated. any,
and i mean any help at this point would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you.

hmm i don't get it by reading at the first. i think in the 2nd page u
should try to make
this input contain what previous data enter...
foreach($_POST as $nm=>$val){
$txt.="";
}
echo $txt;

Re: Using multiple submits on a page and retaining $POST data
On your first comment, im not sure what you were referring to when you said
it is a js problem
on your second comment, i am talking about the user entered data. data
submitted by the first submit button will always be predefined by means of
the user using a selection box, the data im concerned with checking is the
input boxes he will be seeing. and this wont necessarily be username/pass.
and im trying to do this in php if at all possible.
on your next comment, (6) i am talking about after i vertified the validity
of the user typed/entered data, i will enter that into my db
next comment - i knew this would be hard to describe, but i'll try again.
this is to be done all on one page. and ive tried using something like:
value=\"$_POST['name']\"
but i am having problems keeping the initial drop down at the selected
choice, so whenever either submit button is pressed and the post goes to php
self, the drop down is refreshed back to its starting value, which is NULL
I hope that helps define my problem a little more

hahaha..
that's simple.. drop down menu always return to the null because u
don't give selected on one of option.
i have a function (build in) that's answer your problem.. if you on
hurry.. i'm sory, i cant give it now.. my skrip in other comp..
try this on offline
i believe.. the first you enter the page.. the sale option will be selected
now add 2 option then try one of the option you add have selected..
what happen next you will see the default will be change, remember
erase selected
forgive me.. i think it matter of js but it matter of html.
fyi.. try using ajax .. i believe it make your life for comfort..
(since it don't need to refresh the page) and make your skill up.

Re: Using multiple submits on a page and retaining $POST data
****Your query here to get your dropdown values****
**
*// This first option value will set your default dropdown to display as
blank*
echo "\n";
*// This will create a loop to return each option of your dropdown*
foreach ($query_result as $q)
{
*// This if statement says that IF the value in your database matches your
$_POST(selected) value then mark it as SELECTED*
if ($q['my_column_value'] == $_POST['my_selected_value'])
echo "
SELECTED>{$q['my_column_value']}\n";
*// This else statement will return your default(unselected) dropdown list
if it can't match the selected value with a value in your database*
else
echo "
value=\"{$q['my_column_value']}\">{$q['my_column_value']}\n";
}
Hope that helps.

Thanks Dan, this was pretty much the solution I came up with. Thank you
Gunawan for the idea that got the ball rolling as well
