  • Answer:

    u can store data in session variables each time the form is submitted or processthe info as it is submitted. Both have different benefits. for ex, you can store email id to contact later, if u process as soon as form is submitted , if u store in session variables the data will be processed later making just one database call rather than 3 making your form faster. to print the value in the input field use something like: <input type='text' name='title' value='hi' /> to print hi in the field when the page is loaded. Although be careful while printing password in the password field for security reasons
