Question

Hello
I am building a form in a mvc system view, and i want that all the inserted values will be kept,in case of form submit failure.
How can this be done: i tried like (example for a field):

     <label for="user_firstname">Nume</label>
    <input id="user_firstname" type="text" name="user_firstname" value=<?= $_POST['user_firstmane'] ?> >
    <? if (isset($errors['user_firstname'])): ?>
    <span class="error"><?= $errors['user_firstname']; ?></span>
<? endif; ?> 

but of course, it doesn’t work the first time (when no post action is done).

what is the simplest way to do this? any ideas?

thank you

Answer 1

I would suggest something like:

<label for="user_firstname">Nume</label>
    <input id="user_firstname" type="text" name="user_firstname" value=<?(isset($_POST['user_firstname']) ? $_POST['user_firstname'] : ""; ?>>
    <? if (isset($errors['user_firstname'])): ?>
    <span class="error"><?= $errors['user_firstname']; ?></span>
<? endif; ?> 

You also had a typo in the $_POST[“user_firstmane”] should be $_POST[“user_firstname”] 🙂
