WA Volidated Entries not populating form fields on validation?

I have an insert form that uses WA Server Validations. When the form is submitted I want the values that the user has entered to remain in the fields so that the user doesn't have to complete the whole form all over again just because one field fails.

So I have the value of the form fields set to the WA Validated Entries values as follows:

value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("addnews_784","newsTITLE")) ?>"

However, when I submit the form all of the form fields are wiped and the user has to start all over again. :( I have $WAFV_Redirect set to the same page with a querystring added so that I can display an overall fail message:

$WAFV_Redirect = "add_news.php?anewsval=1&dID=".((isset($_POST["dID"]))?$_POST["dID"]:"")  ."";

...so I know that the validation is working.

I copied this code from another form, which works perfectly, so I'm at a complete loss as to why this isn't working. It's such a large form that I don't want to have to create it from scratch again.

Could you take a look at it and let me know what's going wrong? (attached)

Thank you.

The validated field result has to use the identifier from the server validation. You can find it on line 28... so the code should be:

value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("WAVT_addnews_784_Errors","newsTITLE")) ?>"

Have changed that Ray and there's no change. All of the fields are being wiped upon failure of the validation.

I've checked another form I have, an identical form in fact on another domain, and it uses:

value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("addnews_784","newsTITLE")) ?>"

...and it works fine.

I attach the page again, with the amendments I've made. I've changed all of the values to:

value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("WAVT_addnews_784_Errors","newsTITLE")) ?>"

I've also provided a link to this online, so you can check it in a live scenario.

Thank you.

Sorry I forgot you don't include the WAVT_ at the front. I think it should just be:

value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("addnews_784","newsTITLE")) ?>"

Have changed it to:

value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("addnews_784_Errors","newsTITLE")) ?>"

...but it has made no difference.

Have also tried resetting it to:

value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("addnews_784","newsTITLE")) ?>"

No joy there either. Hope you can help. Thank you.

Yes, sorry for the run-around. It should be:

value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("addnews_784","newsTITLE")) ?>"

Which is what you had originally I think.

Does it show the validation message below the field with errors properly? Maybe your server is having issues saving session variables in general?

That's what I had originally, yes. It doesn't work.

It doesn't show the validation message below the field, no, but it is validating because it redirects to the same page but with the querystring appended as specified:

$WAFV_Redirect = "add_news.php?anewsval=1&dID=".((isset($_POST["dID"]))?$_POST["dID"]:"")  ."";

I have other pages on this same site that create and use session variables.
Got me well and truly stumped this.

If you give me ftp access I can look into it.

Maybe just try moving the wavt_scripts_php.php require_once statement lower so that it is right above the validation code.

Moving the wavt_scripts_php.php require_once statement lower so that it is right above the validation code has fixed it, thank you Ray.

Much appreciated.
