Re: [PHP] IE Problems: disappearing text with 'Back' button
Hi Kevin,
Bunch of thanks to you. It works beautifully! Now, all I have to do is go
back over 200+ files and fix 'em all!
Sigh . . . nice way to memorize your code! :>
Btw, in my test code, I did have the ending ?> -- matter of act, I had two of
them!! Hmmm -- it amazing how easily the obvious can escape my attention.
Regards,
Andre

Yeah there's a good reason for that. You're not ending yoiur PHP tag! :-P
Joking aside you're on the right track. This IS the way to do it. You
should never rely on the browsers cache to re-input form values in a
multi-page form. Allow me to clean that up for you a bit..
Hope that helps. Good luck.

[PHP] IE Problems: disappearing text with 'Back' button
A few people using IE have complained that when they click the 'Back' button to edit their registration form, all info is lost and they're presented with a blank form. I've read archives on this, and I really don't know what to do. The referring page starts with and I know the session variables are passed. The referring page is headered to the check page where users would click 'Back' The session variables are there too. Is there some way that I could: (a) Prevent the 'blank-form-syndrome' or (b) Encode the so that the name is filled in - I've tried: but I just get a ? in the value field, not the name. or (c) As much as hate to use it, javascript. I've coded everything without it, so only if I can't accomplish a reasonable approximation of 'Back' in a php hack. or (d)I read in one of the last archived messages about a workaround. After the user clicks 'Back' and is confronted with a now-virgin form, all they have to do is click 'Refresh' in IE. Question is, does IE have a 'Refresh' button, and does this, in fact, work? I have no way of testing this since I only have Linux running. So, if some kind soul could verify whether this is true, it would save me a whole pile of coding! I would be very grateful for any suggestions on to retrieve hyper-lost data input using php.
