You have to POST the value back to the form. This is one of the harder
concepts to grasp when programming in a stateless environment;

<?php
if(!isset($_POST['yourname'])){
$theNameValue = 'Please enter your name';
} else {
$theNameValue = $_POST['yourname'];
}
?>

<form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"method=post>
<input name="yourname" type="text" size="20" value="<?php echo
$_POST['yourname']; ?>">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
