carrying form variables

[GRUMBLE]

hello,

i have a huge form which i have split into several steps. after all steps are done, the variables from all the input fields should be written into the database.

no my problem is, that i have to make an hidden-input in every step to carry on the variables from the previous step.

is there a way to automate this?

thanks!

temporary tables in MySQL?
Haven't used them before myself but I think they may be usefull here.
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ...
then the table is automatically deleted at the end of the session

or you could use this script

<?
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
?><input type="hidden" name="<?=$key?>" value="<?=$value?>">
<?
}
?>

Hope this helps

If u are using sessions to control your form then every input field u can store in the global array for your input form and at end of the form submit u can fetch the field names and values from the array to create the insert query for your database or nethig else u want to do with the form submission values...
