$_POST is used see below for how.
Firstly, in your form add a hidden feild:
<input type="hidden" name="hasposted" value="true" />
Somewhere in your form.
Then above the form add the following:
<?php
if($_POST['hasposted'] '1'){ $mycheckbox = true; } else { $mycheckbox = false; }
echo '$mytext ' . $mytext . '<br />$mycheckbox '. $mycheckbox;
}
?>
<form method="POST" action="#">
<input type="hidden" name="hasposted" value="true" />
<label>Textbox: <input type="text" value="" name="mytext" /></label><br />
<label>Checkbox: <input type="checkbox" value="1" name="mycheckbox" /><br />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Post" />
</form>
I've posted links to W3Cschools with information on these and all other Form Elements.

From there you can enter easily use the returned data to a form. Here is an example: <?php $query = sprintf("SELECT firstname, lastname, address, age FROM friends LIMIT 1"); $result = mysql_query($query); if (!$result) { $message = 'Invalid query: ' . mysql_error() . "\n"; $message .= 'Whole query: ' . $query; die($message); } while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $firstname = $row['firstname']; $lastname = $row['lastname']; $address = $row['address']; $age = $row['age']; } echo ' <form method="post"> <input name="firstname" value="'.$firstname.'"> <input name="lastname" value="'.$lastname.'"> <input name="address" value="'.$address.'"> <input name="age" value="'.$age.'"> </form> '; mysql_free_result($result); ?>
