I want to display all my textarea inputs in my browser (because if I refresh my page all data is gone from what i have sent through my html form using jquery/ajax ). So currently using jquery/ajax information from homepage.php is being sent to data.php through my #textarea input and returned on success to be displayed is my #status div. Every time i hit the POST button the data is added to the browser but when I refresh the page data is all lost ( even though the information is stored in my sql table). I understand i need to use a while() loop and I have tried but none of my code works in respect to what I am trying to achieve.
Homepage.php
<?php
include("connection.php");
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['user_id']) && $_SESSION['user_id'] != "") {
$sid = $_SESSION['user_id'];
$conn = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE id='{$sid}'";
$query = $conn->query($sql);
$result = $query->fetch_assoc();
$fname = $result['fname'];
$lname = $result['lname'];
$time = time();
}
else {
header("location:login.php");
}
?>
