Re: [Phplib-users] How to make a multipage data submition... ?

[Peter C. <li...@kr...>]

Hi

My approach would be to store the form values in a array held as a session=
 variable. That means that the data is available in all the screens (so you=
 can have a summary of what's been said so far). You can also do stuff like=
 remembering the current screen for when the user comes back in this=
 session.

Once the record has been confirmed, you can insert the data into your=
 database and then unregister the array.

I don't use the forms package - it might well have functionality to help you=
 manage and validate your multiscreen form. Maybe someone else can comment=
 on this? Also, look at http://www.sanisoft.com/phplib/manual/oohforms.php
