RE: [PHP-DB] retaining form information when someone presses back

i tend to have a function that show the form and a processing function. In the processing function i preform my sanity checks and then if there are errors pass the $_POST data back to the show_form($data, $errors) with the relevant errors. This removes the need to have the users press the back button and allows the form to show its data again.. Bastien

I have a custom application in PHP in which a user fills out a form of information. When the user submits, I perform sanity checking on the user's submitted data and refuse to actually process/insert it if those checks fail. However, my users are complaining that when they press back to correct, all the data is gone from the form and they have to re-enter it all. I know many websites that can retain the form data when someone presses back; how is this done?
