Question about 'print_stop_message'
 

I am submitting info through a form in AdminCP. If the script fails my error check, I use 'print_stop_message' to display an error message and then redirect back to the original script.

Problem is the information previously entered in the form is no longer there. How can I get the form to remember what was previously entered so Admin doesn't have to enter it again?

I know it's possible as most forms in vbulletin's admincp have this feature, i just can't figure out how it's done. I was thinking of puting all the field values into a session array, but there's got to be an easier way.

Anyone know?

If you redirect using JavaScript (which IIRC is the same as hitting back) then you won't lose your form data. Lazy answer though - too busy to dig any deeper right now.

i tried your suggestion (thanks) but it didn't work, however i did figure outthe solution, rather simple which never occurred to try before.

I was using the following which was erasing the data upon returning to the page:
however if i just use the print_stop_message function, it simply allows me to click a back button, and the data is there... !
wow...
