How to retain values of form fields after a page loads?

Is there a way to retain values of textfield/textbox when a user submits a form? i only want to retain values with errors or values I specify.

For example i am posting to 10 blogs and 1-9 gets posted succesfully so I only want to retain the value from 10 when a page load after form submission. Can I do that? how?

 

Are you asking how to programatically load the last submission from a user in your own form
or
how to keep last submission for your browser locally?

For the first one, you can use PHP sessions.

for the second one, look for Robo Form

 

Simply give the input the value of the POST variable.
so like;

<input type="text" value="<? echo $_POST['hi']; ?>" />

Code (markup):

if that's what you meant...

 

You can also use $_SESSION

 

Yes but i only want to retain values with errors.

Thanks kaizoku! i made it work using session.
