Question

I am using a form to register the user on my website and i have a captcha security on it. Everything is working well and good but the only problem that i am facing is that if i enter a wrong captcha or somehow the page refreshes , all the data entered by the user is wiped out.

what i wish to achieve is that even if the captcha entered is wrong and the form is submitted , the form should have all the fields intact as the user filled in excluding the captcha field.

How can this be done? My form is html and the processing page is php

You can populate the value attribute of your form inputs;

<input type="text" name="username" value="<?php 
  if (!empty($_POST['username'])) { 
    echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['username']); 
  }?>" 
/>
