I think what Brent is suggesting is a single script that will handle the
display and processing of all 5 form 'pages'. The code below is just to give
an idea of how I think the 'flow' could go, don't go copying the code and
expect anything (positive) to happen !!
if(!$_POST['step'] || $_POST['step']=='0')
{
// Display form 1 or call appropriate function/method
if ($_SESSION['errmsg'])
echo $errmsg;
<form .... action="$PHP_SELF?step=1">
}
if($_POST['step']=='1')
{
// Validate form 1 or call appropriate function/method
if (error found) {
$errmsg = "<ul>";
$errmsg .= "<li> Field One is required </li>";
// etc etc
$_SESSION['errmsg'] = $errmsg;
}
// Not sure about the following line ??
Header("Location: http://mysite.com/path/to/myself?step=2";);
}
if ($_POST['step']=='2')
{
... etc...
