PHP form data transmission

[kirzi]

Hi!

I've done a web form that contains of many pages. The data is sended from one page to the next one with the POST method. And on the last page the whole data is sended via email to me.

Now I have a serious problem! Some emails I've received contain only the data from the e.g. last two pages of the web form and the other data is lost somewhere. I have tried myself to cause that problem, but my form submission is always correct.

So please, can somebody help me and suggest some reasons for that problem?

Thanks!!

How are you keeping the data? If you want a very secure method (secure in that you won't lose it, not that others can't read it), just put the data in hidden fields, and pass it on again. If you're using sessions, chances are people don't have cookies on, and are losing their session data.

I'm sending the data in hidden field to the next pages..

Where can something go wrong? Everything works for me fine.. Can it be, that some browsers are not sending everything right?

First I thought the reason for the error is that people are moving back and forward with the browser while answering the web form, but when I tried it everything worked fine again.

I'm feeling very funny, but I'm really asking for help to cause an error. ;-/

Try, on each page, put the forms behind it in an

if($1 == "" or $2 == "") {
die('You have not filled out the previous fields!');
}

Perhaps they are just starting at the last page?
