multiple forms problem

[phpjaco]

hello . im relatively new to php and I am trying to make a order form, there are 5 forms and on the confirmation page it shows all the variables of each page

for e.g

$msg = "---------------------------personal---------\n";
$msg .= " Name : $fname "; #variables from form1
......

$msg .= "-----------------------bank----------------\n";
$msg .= "Bank : $bank"; #variables from form2
....
$msg .= "----------------------------------------order----\n";
$msg .= "You ordered : $order"; #from from 3

however it only shows the variables of the last form submitted, but all the other fields are blank?? what happened to my variables?

any help would b greatly appreciated
thanx

you probably need to pass them along, say by using sessions, or by including them in hidden fields.

ok cool, it worked. this is pretty much what i did :

<?php
session_start();

#start variables
session_register("first_name");
session_register("last_name");
session_register("cell");
session_register("land");
session_register("e_mail");
$first_name = $fname;
$last_name = $lname;
$cell = $tnumber;
$land = $mnumber;
$e_mail = $email;
if ($fname != null) {
header("Location:popup_step3.php?<?php echo(SID); ?>");
}
?>

and then used the session variables, however now i have a problem with my mail attachments :

on my mail page i got :
#reading the attchment files
#if (($choose == "card") || ($choose == "corp_stationary")) {

if ($image != "none") {

$imgf = fopen("$image", "r");

$imagef = fread($imgf, $imgf_size);

#encode the data for safer transmission

$imagef = chunk_split(base64_encode($imagef));

#get a random 32 hexadecimal number

$num = md5(time());

}

}

however i cant read the file - $image (session) variable of $att. is this a problem with my session or with my code?🙁

fopen($image, "r") is usually not in brackets i just tried it to see if it would make a difference.

thanx
