如果输入无效，请记住原始输入

Question

Hi there!

I have a login form like this:

<form method="post" action="login.php">
  Username:
    <p><input type="text" name="id" /></p>
  Password:
    <p><input type="password" name="pass" /></p>
   <input type="submit" value="Log In" name="login" />
   <input type="reset" value="Reset" />
</form>

and the validation is in login.php aswell, a single file validation).

If the email or password doesn't match the error message appears below the form. If the input is valid, it redirects to homepage.php (header ("location: homepage.php");)

What I want to do is: if the password is wrong, or doesn't match with the username, it displays the form again with the original username input.

Is it by using cookie? If anyone has any suggestion, please let me know.

Sankyu :)

Try saving the old value inside the session variable ($_SESSION) and displaying it on the value property of the element.
