Survey form Back Button

[mikanmao]

I got a survey form that contain 3 pages,
and i will provide a "Back Button" for the user to move back and forth.
So, any suggestion on how can i display all the inputted things by users when they move back and forth ? 😕
And I havent linked to any db.

Hi,

What you could do is have a hidden form field on each page such as on page1 you could have:
<input type="hidden" name="frompage" value="page1.php" />

This will then tell your form what page to go back to.

Thanks for your reply 🙂
but i think i need to state my problem more clearly.
For example if my survey got 2 pages,
how can i display the things that entered by the user previously in Page1 when the user go back to page 1 by clicking the "Back" button in page 2 ?

Hi,

I take it you're storing this information in a database or something.

Id so, all you need to do is a query to pull all that data out on page one. Obviously for most of the visitors it will show nothing on the first page but once submitted the data is stored.

You will need to assign a unique id for each user if you're not doing already
