Is there an actual way to store the data in a temporary table as you go through the multi-page form and then extract that data from the temporary storage from the DB App and either process the data or store it in a permanent place?
I have never done this before, but maybe someone else has? Any tips on how to do this, what "type(s)" of DB tables are required to do this and can you give me an url to help me research it further? I think this would be a great alternative to the sessions solution because it doesn't work really well with some PHP error handling that you need to do for the forms. You have to register and unregister variables throughout the form and it gets hard to keep track of when you have so many forms and field variables to deal with. With a temporary DB table, I can just insert any data that has been checked for errors and then not have to worry about passing them back and forth until the end of the application when I actually need to do something with them. - Nilaab > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Boget [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 10:24 AM > To: @ Edwin; Shane McBride > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] Multiple page form > > > > > Yes.
