how do you add session data to a database

[zopm]

Hi
i'm working on a site at the moment where I want to add user form input into a database. That bits not a problem but I want the user to add data across multiple pages. eg maybe a form to add their name on one page, they then click 'next page' and there is another form to add their address. Then I want them to click ok, and have another page to check their name and address is right and if they click ok, their data will be added to the database at that time, as opposed to their data added to the database on a page by page basis.

So basically I want the forminput to be held(possibly as sessions???)and if it is all ok at the end page, all the form input from every page be added to the database at that time.

now i'm sure this relates to session variables and i think its relatively simple so could could someone point me on the right track. Notjust loking for a straight answer either, just a bit of guidance on the topic.

Thanks heaps

Sesssions would be a way to do that.

of course you have to have session_start() on the pages where you want to stor the form values.

You must also have
session_register('name')

Where name is the value of the name attribute in your form field tags.

So if you had a form field with name="firstName"
In the script you would ahve to have
session_register('firstName');

It automatically picks up value.

To reference the values of your session:
$_SESSION[firstName]
