retain value to previous form

[farukcse]

Dear sir,
i am using below of this code for searching and viewing data from database.
[code=html]
<form name='search_fo rm' method = 'POST' action='' >
<input type=text name='id_no' value='' maxlength='10' >
<input type='submit' value='SEARCH' name='search' >
</form>
[/code]
but when i click the submit button it can't retain the id value in it's field. so is there any way to retain it's value after pressing the submit value.
please try to send response to me.

Regards,
Faruk Chowdhury

Hi Faruk.

Please post your code examples within

As to your problem, try something like this:
[code=html]
<input type="text" name="id_no"  value="<?php echo $_POST['id_no']; ?>" maxlength="10" />
