I have a form question.

I have a form and I was wondering how to create a confirmation page that can go back and edit the information. I was going to make the boxes invisible but I heard there is a security risk with it. I also was wondering how I can include the time and date in the email when they submit the form. Eventually I would like to learn how to send the information to a database which can create an excel sheet does anyone know a good tutorial or and sample which I could learn off of?
Thanks for reading!

The best way to do that is use JQuery or AJAX for confirmation. Otherwise you can use the PHP variables within the form:

Code:

<?php
$username=trim($_POST['username']);
$password=$_POST['password'];

if(strlen($username)<3)
echo 'your username should be more than 3 symbols long';

?>

<form action="" method="post">
username <input type="text" value="<?=@$username?>" />
password <input type="password" value="" />
</form>

something like this.

About time and the date - use the date function. for instance:

Code:

date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

If you want to store time and date in the database, you should create a field with "datetime" type and when you insert or update a row use the NOW() function. for instance

Code:

INSERT INTO mytable(mytime, username) VALUES (NOW(), 'myusername')
