hi

looking for some advice

I have a site in progress. user to it have to enter a LOT of information (it
will contain a club directory)

in order to try and make it a less unpleasant experience for the user, I
want to give them 7 smaller input forms, each one following the other

what would be the correct way to do this, one very large, complex coded php
conditional form that does everything, or several smaller ones ?

if I use one form, it will conatin rather a lot of code, but execution would
all be handled by the form itself

but if I use multiple smaller forms, each form would need to process the
previous forms input, and then display it's inputs for entry

I am also using sessions, which adds a little to complexity

any general good coding practice tips/links would be helpful
If you mean a form split in multiple pages, you may want to try this class because it provides exactly that, either in sequential (Wizard) mode with |Next >|, |< Back|, |Finish >>| buttons, or in random access (tabbed pages) mode where you can go from any form page to any other with Edit, Update, Cancel buttons:
