</html>To post code on the forum, either put bbcode [code][/code] tags or markdown three back-ticks ``` on their own lines, above and below your code. I have edited your post above.
The page reloads and youre not redisplaying the POST values.
$_SESSION["onlinestat"] ="6";
}
This makes zero sense without context. I don’t get what is 6
just used to force 1st time thru. set to 0, then on 1st pass to 6. Re-entrance means data is populated, do the insert. set 1 is success 9 means error in mysql.
I see. That makes sense now. Mebby you can save them in constants and add comment to explain the lifecycle. This very good approach for future in case you or someone else looking at the code.
// comment to explain
const STAT_INITIAL = '0';
const STAT_FIRST_PASS = '6';
Did you manage to get the form work as intended yet?
