I'm have a PHP created HTML form that I want a user to be able to enter data

I've been trying all day to find something similar on your site, but to no
avail.
I am really new to PHP so I may not have done things the easy way. The code
below outputs the proper data, but it does it without user concent. I'd like
to have the user review what they typed prior to posting it to dates.htm.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Mike
code as follows:
?php
//-INITIALIZE VARIABLES
$filename = 'dates.htm';
$handle = fopen($filename, rb);
$old = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);
$date = $_REQUEST['date'] ;
$title = $_REQUEST['title'] ;
$desc = $_REQUEST['desc'] ;
$place = $_REQUEST['place'] ;
$cost = $_REQUEST['cost'] ;
$info = $_REQUEST['info'] ;
//-DISPLAY FORM
if (!isset($_REQUEST['date']))
{
?

Put here this, it will passed to your next page:

You are writing to your file right after displaying confirmation. You
should have here:
} elseif(isset($_REQUEST['new'])) {
Don't forget to check for (non)existance of $_REQUEST['new'] where
necessary.
//FILE ACCESS WRITING
//OPEN FILE
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w'))
{
echo Cannot open file ($filename);
exit;
}
//WRITE TO FILE
if (fwrite($handle, $joined) === FALSE)
{
echo Cannot write to file ($filename);
exit;
}
echo Success, wrote ($joined) to file ($filename);
fclose($handle);
}
