Hello,

Here is my problem.

On a php-page, there is a form. When it is submitted to another php-page, I
can not use my navigator to go back. If I do it, fields of my form are
resetted. I would like to have them filled with the informations I
previously entered.

I think it is possible as I've seen it on many websites.

Can you please explain me why it happens and what I can do ?

Thanks, Seb Delcampe ( http://www.delcampe.com )

Yes, of course, it's possible.

php doesn't use cache memory, so it' recalls the php-page as a new page.

So, you have 2 solutions :

1) use this page like as a HTML page. with ext (.html)

2) you must before save datas filled in fields of the from page, by a
submit,
with a click button or
with an onclick(); which calls a javascript to submit datas before coming
back.

And when you come back to the previous page, you could do a query in your
database.
and you could fill in the form page.
