Moving Form data from 1 form to the next

[phpete2]

I have a form that has 2 steps.
Step 1 asks for address, name, company, phone etc.
Is there a way to automatically forward that info onto the next form (step 2)?
I don't want the user to have to enter it twice.

Part I of form can be found at

you can use javascript to put the info into the next fields. you would just need to have an onChange or similar even to call your function that would:
document.form1.namefield2.value = document.form1.namefield1.value

make sense? I assume that this info has to be on the same page and that users can't press a button to view the next fields (else just $_post those values).

The canonical method for recording session-persistent information (i.e., data that has to be retained from one page to the next) in PHP is to use it [man]session[/man] handling functions.
