how to relate tables

[iraja]

Hi folks...here is the scenario.

I want to make a "resume builder".
This will be divided into 5 parts.
1. Personal Information
2. eductaion information
3. work information
4. project/award information
5. Referees.

where personal information will have only one occurance and all the rest will have <= 3 occurances.
Personal information will have a unique LoginID.

I have a Database "build" and I want 5 tables for these 5 parts.

e.g. a user enters data into "personal-information table". Once done he will submit the form and will be taken to "education information" form.

NOW once he will enter all information in "education" form and click submit. HOW can i tell PHP to store the data in "education table" asociated with the LoginID enetered previously in "personal-information" form, keeping in mind that I have to take and store this input 3 times for each loginID.

I hope you guys are following what I am saying.

best regards,

Iqtadar Raja

Store the loginid in a session variable and use a hidden form field.

<input type="hidden" name="loginID" value="$_SESSION['id']">

Hi ClarkF1,

Agreed about using the session to store the loginid. But what is the hidden field for? I don´t believe this is needed, as the session variable can be referenced from any form without this
