Ok, working code. I'm sure there is some left over code that is not
actually working, but I have been playing frankenstein all day. Basically a
vistor fills in 3 (only two set so far) inputs to see if they qualify for a
rebate. If they do, they can go on to file two to submit their information.
This is my first project using $_cookie or $_session. I have done an
exercise or two in lessons using them, but this is my first attempt from
scratch.
