There may be a better way of going about this. I'm pushing the limits on my php skills here.

So here's the scenario, a user submits a valid form, then they review the data they submitted and can either 1. go back and make changes, or 2. confirm their data is correct

My questions are
1. I have all the users POST data for the confirmation page, but how do I repopulate the form if they choose to go back?
2. If they confirm their data, how do I write it all into the database?

Here is the controller.

Code:
function add_info()

    {

        // Check if the form has been submitted and passed validation

        // if it has show confirmation page

        if ($this->input->post('submit') && $this->form_validation->run() === TRUE)

        {

            $data['title'] = "Review Your Order";

            $data['heading'] = "Let's Review Your Order";

            $this->load->view('order_review', $data);

        } else if ($this->input->post('submit') && $this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)

        {

            // The form has been submitted and there are errors

            $data['title'] = "Oops! Let's double check that form.";

            $data['heading'] = "Oops! Let's double check that form.";

        } else

        {

            // The form has never been submitted, show the form

            $data['title'] = "Add Your Information";

            $data['heading'] = "Add Your Information";

        }

        // Load this view by default        

        $this->load->view('order_add_info', $data);

    }

Here's the view file for 'order_review'

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

&lt;html &gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /&gt;

&lt;title&gt;&lt;?=$title?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

    <h1>&lt;?=$heading?&gt;</h1>

    <p>Last but not least, please double check your info for accuracy.</p>

    <h2>Important</h2>

    <p>Please double check your info for mistakes! This will be exactly what is printed on your item.<p>

    <p>We can't be responsible for misspellings or typos.</p>

    <div id="review">

    <p>I want to order &lt;?=$_POST['order_quantity'];?&gt; items with the following info:</p>

    <h2>When</h2>

    <div><h3>Dates</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['when_dates'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>Times</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['when_times'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>Note</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['when_registration'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>Extras</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['when_extra'];?&gt;</div>

    <h2>Who</h2>

    <div><h3>Ages</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['who_ages'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>Extras</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['who_extra'];?&gt;</div>

    <h2>Where</h2>

    <div><h3>Church Name</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['where_name'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>Address</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['where_street'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>City</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['where_city'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>State</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['where_state'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>Zip</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['where_zip'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>Phone(s)</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['where_phone'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>Website</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['where_web'];?&gt;</div>

    <div><h3>Extras</h3>&lt;?=$_POST['where_extra'];?&gt;</div>

    <div>&lt;?=anchor('/order/add_info/'.'enter-var-here', 'I need to make some changes!');?&gt;</div>

    <div>&lt;?=anchor('/order/submit/', 'Everything looks ok.');?&gt;</div>

    </div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

I'm attaching the view 'order_add_info' as a zip file

Let me kno if I can clarify any of this. Thanks!
