Hi,
I've been using a flash web form builder from a company called Coffee Cup.
It appears to be "impossible" to connect multiple forms together. ie the forms are basically static and there seems to be no way to get any dynamic data into the second form.

I can, of course, use just 1 very long form.

I store the data from the first form in a mysql database and would like to start a session or similar be able to connect the data from the second form to the already stored data.

Any suggestions on how I can connect what appear to be 2 independent events together? Or a suggestion for another tool to help with flash form creation?

eg would there be a way to pick up the IP address of the user and store that in the database with the first form data and use that for the second form - assumes that the IP address would be the same and also available. Or is that silly?

Thanks,
John.

    When you say "Flash" do you refer to a form written in actionscript? If so Flash is state-full, therefore you could retain all of your variables in flash and pass them to php once all your data is gathered. Otherwise you would have to use $_SESSIONS, either way you don't need the clients ip as the session id is written to the user's cookie and later extracted to identify said client.
