Hiya.

The way I do my forms is I create a form page and a corresponding
processing page. I don't like to post forms to themself so I always make
a processing page that header("Location: ...")'s back to the original
page.

Normally I create a long string that get's posted back to the original
page via the querystring. For example:

if(the name is blank)
{
        $errors = "e_name=Name cannot be blank&";
}

if(the company is blank)
{
        $errors .= "e_comp=Company cannot be blank&";
}

$location = "originalpage.php?$errors";

So then I redirect with the $location variable.

But instead of passing it back through the querystring, what about
assigning the values to the $_SESSION array and simply checking for the
existence of those values on the original form?

I think it will work fine (and even better than posting everything) but
I'm wondering if there's something I'm not considering that makes this
Not A Good Idea(tm)?


Thanks,
Chris.
