multiple forms on one page

tcooper

I want to have multiple forms on one page, however, I need to get the results of the form and keep those results for the remainder of the session. How do I do this? Right now I am just testing this which is why there is not much information on the page. When I select an item in my first box and hit the "Submit" button it works fine. The problem is when I click the "submit" button on one of other forms...I loose all my information. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

<?php require_once('Connections/Thor.php'); ?>

<?php
function get_ind_string($idx){ //This function will return the string value from my select box
switch ($idx) {
case "2":
return 'Electric';
break;
case "4":
return 'IT';
break;
case "6":
return 'Nat Gas';
break;
case "7":
return 'Other';
break;
case "8":
return 'Telecom';
break;
case "9":
return 'Wtr & WasteWtr';
break;}}
?>

<?php
$ckSubmit=$POST['ckSubmit']+1;//Here I am declaring variables that occur after the form has been posted
$ckSubmit1=$POST['ckSubmit1']+1;
$ckSubmit2=$_POST['ckSubmit2']+1;
echo $ckSubmit;
echo $ckSubmit1;
echo $ckSubmit2;

if($ckSubmit>1){
$industry = $_POST['selectIndustry'];
$ind = get_ind_string($industry);}
