I don't understand what you are trying to do...
If you need to verify whether the page has already been submitted to
itself, you can test any of the form variables using isset(). For
example:
<?
if(isset($name)) {
$LoadedBefore = 1;
}
if(!$LoadedBefore) {
echo "<form name='form1' action='$PHP_SELF'>";
echo "<input type='text' name='name'>";
echo "<input type='submit' name='submitdata' value='submit'>";
}
?>
You can also pass the data back into the form:
echo "<input type='text' name='$name'>"; // using $name variable as
value
