1
00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:03,970
Let's set the value of these form
fields equal to the user data.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:10,480
Currently we are setting the variables for
the form fields after the form post.

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,440
That means when we view
the form before it's submitted,

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,700
those variables won't exist.

5
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:18,370
So we would need to check
if those variables are set

6
00:00:18,370 --> 00:00:21,050
before we could use
them in the form value.

7
00:00:21,050 --> 00:00:22,590
But there's another way.

8
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:26,164
Let's set each of these variables to
an empty string at the beginning of our

9
00:00:26,164 --> 00:00:30,094
script, then we know that the variable is
set and we can use it even if it's empty.

10
00:00:35,287 --> 00:00:39,740
We can add each of these on one line,
putting them all together.

11
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:44,625
$project_id = $title
which equals $date which

12
00:00:44,625 --> 00:00:50,560
equals $time which finally
equals our empty string.

13
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,647
Now let's use the variables to
update the form field values.

14
00:00:59,051 --> 00:01:01,238
As we explored in the previous course,

15
00:01:01,238 --> 00:01:05,800
it's a good idea to escape output
whenever you output user data.

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,346
Be sure to check the notes
associated with this video for

17
00:01:08,346 --> 00:01:09,763
a more detailed explanation.

18
00:01:10,974 --> 00:01:13,382
We'll use HTML special chars for this.

19
00:01:15,003 --> 00:01:24,490
So our PHP will echo htmlspecialchars,
And our title.

20
00:01:26,770 --> 00:01:27,910
Then close our php.

21
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:30,603
Let's copy that code for
$date and $time as well.

22
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:42,578
We have to do something a little
different for our select.

23
00:01:42,578 --> 00:01:46,407
After I select value, let's break this up.

24
00:01:53,273 --> 00:01:57,580
Then we can add a conditional,

25
00:01:57,580 --> 00:02:02,054
if ($project_id == $item

26
00:02:02,054 --> 00:02:09,536
Project_id Then

27
00:02:09,536 --> 00:02:12,440
we're going to echo selected.

28
00:02:16,472 --> 00:02:20,900
Now let's refresh the browser,
resubmitting the form data.

29
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:24,730
This time the fields we already
filled out are still complete.

30
00:02:24,730 --> 00:02:30,680
So I can easily choose a project,
And submit the form again.

31
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:35,680
This time we're redirected to the task
list where we see our new task.
