Hi Aaron,
Thought it simplest to try the hidden-field method first - no new methods here.
Here's a draft of the srv.awd page ... I've put some comments in for explanation, but see how you get ...
<?php
// Def Constant
define( 'parentFile' , 1 );
include('common.php');
// Clean data input
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
$_GET = array_map('stripslashes', $_GET);
$_POST = array_map('stripslashes', $_POST);
$_COOKIE = array_map('stripslashes', $_COOKIE);
}
// We'll use these to keep the hidden fields up to date
// I'm assuming here that an incomplete form will NOT be sent here
$GLOBALS['contact_fields'] = array('Name', 'Phone', 'Email', 'Unit', 'Deployed', 'Locale', 'Authorized', 'AppRank', 'AppPosition');
if(isset($_POST['peoplereg'])){
// Set stepnum to 1
$_POST['stepnum'] = 1;
} else {
$_POST['stepnum']++;
}
//Get count of all available items - Item A, Item B...
$itemCount = getItemCount(); //
//On the last step, the form should post to insert page (that page will send to thankyou)
if($_POST['stepnum'] == $itemCount){
$frmaction = "insertsrv.awd";
} else {
$frmaction = "srv.awd";
}
?>

echo date(DATE_COOKIE);
//echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A') . " UTC";
echo '</div></div>';
?>
</div>
Then, here's a draft insertsrv.awd page (no MySQL here, but we can finish this bit later.
<?php
// Do all of the MySQL insertions in this page
// But before you even start on that code, check that ALL the data
// is been collected correctly
echo '<pre>'; var_dump($_POST); echo '</pre>';
// Afterwards, head off to ...
header('Location: thankyou.awd');
?>
See how you get on with this. There weel could be typo's in here but I think the logic's correct - haven't got enough time to test it with your data.
