Help with Multi-page forms

[Herizo]

I am trying to find a good tutorial on how to code for a multi-page form in PHP. Does anyone know how to create such a form or know of a good tutorial for one?

Thanks.

Hi

It's not too hard, find a tutorial which deals with a confirmation page.

Basically you are just buiding up the information you have about the user. The script should be something like:

<?php
echo "<form action='dothis.php' method='get'>";
if (!isset($pageno))
{
  $pageno = "1";
  echo "Name: <input type='text' name='name'><br>";
}
else if ($pageno == "1")
{
  $pageno = "2";
  echo "Name: $name <input type='hidden' name='name' value='$name'><br>";
  echo "Age: <input type='text' name='age'><br>";
}
else 
{
  $pageno = "3";
  echo "Name: $name <input type='hidden' name='name' value='$name'><br>";
  echo "Age: $age <input type='hidden' name='age' value='$age'><br>";
}
echo "<input type='submit' name='cmdGo'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='pageno' value='$pageno'>";
echo "</form">;
?>

Give it a whirl and then just build it up until you have the structure you need.

but in the statement

echo "<form action='dothis.php' method='get'>";

what is on "dothis.php?" Or is the name of this page "dothis.php."

then in the else clause you have the statement

$pageno = "2";
echo "Name: $name <input type='hidden' name='name' value='$name'><br>";

Do we always have to resubmit previous submitted variables as hidden fields for the new pages?

Thanks
