You may also consider using sessions to store form data.. this allows
for actual user interaction with the data, back/forward etc... as well
as tracking and other stuff.. you really should only have "Page1.php",
and use a logic object to parse the data from there.. IMHO, of course. :)

Is there a way to transfer post data to a series of PHP pages?
For example, lets say I have the following 4 pages:
Page1.php - this page has my original post form
Page2.php - this page does one thing with the post data
Page3.php - this page does another thing with the post data
Page4.php - this page shows the results of everything I have done
Right now I am using the header: <?header("Location: page3.php");?>
The problem is, the following works:
Page1.php - this page has my original post form
Page2.php - this page does one thing with the post data
Page3.php - this page shows the results of everything I have done
But when I try to add the second transfer the data is lost:
Page1.php - this page has my original post form
Page2.php - this page does one thing with the post data
Page3.php - this page does another thing with the post data
Page4.php - Only the results from Page2.php are shown!!!!
ASP does this with <%Server.Transfer ("transferpage1.asp")%>
Is there a counterpart with PHP?

include() :P
seriously though, Page1.php and Page4.php are the only two pages that
should exist, if any. Page2 and Page3 should pretty much guaranteed be
turned into function calls or classes and called from Page4.php. You
don't need to separate logic and display in separate scripts that you
push everything at, just separate your logic out into function calls.
What Martin suggests makes a lot of sense. Can you say something about why
you have the site design the way that you do?
