How to go back and view data submitted to modify them after submitting a php form

Question

I'm working on a php based tool in a proprietary framework. I have a form made of text fields and dropdown fields. To submit the form I have a button. After the form is submitted I receive a text via an echo command and a clickable text (Go Back). When clicking on it, page refreshes and the form is shown with empty fields This command is set by:

echo "<center><a href=\"javascript:history.go(-1)\">BLOCCA UN'ALTRA CARTA</a></center></br></br></br>";

I need a way to get back after the form is submitted with the possibility to see the fields containing data entered before submitting the form to modify them if needed and submit the form again.

Obviously all data entered are entered in a db table. Here my php file "Insert". Thanks all

Why not add the ID of the persisted entity, and load that entity in the form? — Nico Haase, Aug 05 '21 at 07:59
Something like the given code should be avoided at all times, as this mix of PHP, HTML, and Javascript is completely unmaintainable — Nico Haase, Aug 05 '21 at 08:00
@NicoHaase thanks. Could you show me how to translate your suggest in code? Really thanks! — Marcello D'Ambrosio, Aug 05 '21 at 08:35

Your code relly needs refactoring from base.

However, You can stor your submited form to a PHP session and then read that on the first page.

for example:

<?php

if($_POST) $_SESSION['form_data'] = $_POST;

And in your first page use like this:

<input type="text" name="email" val="<?php echo $_SESSION['form_data']['email'] ?>" >

But, It's really ugly solution.

My need is simple: once form is submitted I need a a button so clicking it I get back to the previous form page with fields filled by values before entered, allowing to modify them and to submit the form again. Fields are so defined in my framework in another php file: Phone number -> '$sf_vaccine['fields']['phoneNumber'] = new TextField('phoneNumber'); $sf_vaccine['fields']['phoneNumber']->label = 'Numero di telefono'; $sf_vaccine['sheet']->addField($sf_vaccine['fields']['phoneNumber']);' How can I enter the code you suggest in your answer? – Marcello D'Ambrosio Aug 05 '21 at 10:07
I found rthis answer at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2548566/go-back-to-previous-page It says: the "history.go(-1)" in javascript. This will produce a filled out form. But in my case it produce an empty form. I don't understand why!! Can you help me? – Marcello D'Ambrosio Aug 05 '21 at 10:24
@DConsulting Test `window.history.go(-1)`. – Milad Abooali Aug 05 '21 at 10:44
Milad I made this: 'echo " – Marcello D'Ambrosio Aug 05 '21 at 10:50
@MarcelloD'Ambrosio you have to add like this: `onclick='window.history.go(-1);return(false);'` – Milad Abooali Aug 05 '21 at 13:54
Here what I did: echo " – Marcello D'Ambrosio Aug 05 '21 at 15:02
