I have my two html textarea fields followed by these two buttons.
<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post"> <br>
<input type="submit" name="calcentry" value="Calc Your Entry" />
<input type="submit" name="clearentry" value="Clear Your Entry" />
</form>
I have textarea1 to type words into. I have textarea2 for my results. I have people
type words in textarea1 and after hitting the "calcentry" button I want to reload the
same page, go into my:
if ($calcentry) {...}
part of my code and do some calculations with php and mysql and put my output into
textarea2. But after submitting and re-loading the page my textarea1 field is empty.
So my first question is how do I keep the data in textarea1 so when I perform my
submit I can do some calculations on it etc? Then how can I place my results into
textarea2.
So all I want is to type words into a textarea field, reload the same page, do some
calcs on these words, and place the results into textarea. So it amounts to having
the exact same page but now I have my calculated results in the second textarea. I
have all my code for calcs etc. and it works fine.
Thanks for any help,
Doug
