Modify Information Button loses info

Happy 4th all!

When I hit the "modify information" button on my confirm.php page it returns to my checkout.php page as it should but all of the info is gone that was previously typed in.

Any idea how to fix this one?

Thanks!

I did it like this...

On your confirm page, set a session variable for each field in your checkout form.

eg firstname

<?php
if (!session_id()) session_start();
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$_SESSION["eCartCheckoutForm_firstname"] = "".((isset($_POST["firstname"]))?$_POST["firstname"]:"") ."";
}
?>

On your checkout page your firstname field should look like this...

<input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" value="<?php if (isset($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_firstname'])){ echo $_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_firstname'];} ?>"/></td>

repeat for the remaining fields.

It looks like my confirm page is correct but my checkout page is positively where the problem is. What you posted definately seems to cure it for all of the "text" imput sections. eCart created all of these fields so I assumed they were right. I guess I shouldn't assume stuff. Any Idea how I would address the "select lists"?

Thanks for all the help!

I must admit I had a problem with the select lists, as checking the sessionid for every possible county & country (UK) meant my page size became really big.

What i did as a 'fix' was keep use a simple text field for county and country.

I did however add a 'shipping region' the code looked like this...

<select name="region" id="region" >
<option value="" selected="selected">**-Select Region-**</option>
<option value="0" <?php if (!(strcmp(0, $_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_region']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>United Kingdom</option>
<option value="2" <?php if (!(strcmp(2, $_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_region']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>United States</option>
<option value="1" <?php if (!(strcmp(1, $_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_region']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>EU</option>
</select>

with the corresponding code on the confirm page as before.
