sorry this seems to be a very long form.

The two most likely solutions are:

Use PHP sessions, storing the inputs from form 1 in the $_SESSION array so that the script called by form 2 will have access to them, along with the form data from form 2.
On the form 2 page create an input field of type="hidden" for each form value received from form 1.

The second method has a bit of a reliability advantage in that it does not depend on cookies or anything else that sessions require. The sessions method will require a bit less data being transferred between page requests, so might be a little faster.
