Honestly, I've always found it easier to just have distinct pages/files for the steps, and to break the data up into human-comprehensible pages... You have several options: 1. Pass every field around in an INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN tag on every page. 2. Use sessions. http://php.net/session_start 3. Store each "partial" record into some tiny "temporary" table as you go, and then move it to the *real* table only when it's all filled in correctly. 1. is probably easiest for the Newbie. 2. is probably easiest once you understand sessions -- a small but non-zero learning curve 3. doesn't really have anything in particular to recommend it, but doesn't suck. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm I'm looking for a PRO QUALITY two-input sound card supported by Linux (any major distro). Need to record live events (mixed already) to stereo CD-quality. Soundcard Recommendations? Software to handle the recording? Don't need fancy mixer stuff. Zero (0) post-production time. Just raw PCM/WAV/AIFF 16+ bit, 44.1KHz, Stereo audio-to-disk. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
