Which Way To Go?
I have a form . On this form I have information that I would like the user to preview before adding to the database. I would like to have 2 buttons. One button saying "Send To" and the other saying "Change Info". Now if the user likes what they have written, if click, I would like the info to go to the database. If the person doesn't like it and need to make changes, I would like for it to go back to the input screen. Can someone please help me with the coding. Thanks

RE: Which Way To Go?
i had to do this once before.
Im sure this isn't the best way, but its most likely the easiest:

<input type="text" value="<?php echo isset($_POST['var1']) ? $_POST['var1']:""; ?>" name="var1">

put this in the form, and put a bunch of hidden fields in the preview page:
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_POST['var1']; ?>" name="var1">
and if they like it it will post the variables to the database script, if they don't it will post it back to the form.

Thanks for the info, however, I'm really confused with your code. For example, you don't tell me how to either go to the db or back to the input page. But thanks.

RE: Which Way To Go?
all you need to do is submit the form to itself and have three
submit buttons named submit on the first pass and one named edit and one named confirm on the second pass.

php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. if ($submit == "submit"){
  3.     echo "<input type='submit' name='Confirm' value='confirm'>&nbsp;<input type='submit' name='Edit Submission' value='edit'>";
  4. } else {
  5.     echo "<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>";
  6. }
  7.  
  8. // if $submit == "confirm" do your query and if $submit == "edit" display the form witht he changed data 
  9.  

you could also do this by echoing the form data to the screen and asking for confirmation as opposed to showing the form on each pass.

RE: Which Way To Go?
why? you have to duplicate the code that way. The form only needs one instance if you target self.
