After looking at what I wanted to do I see no good reason I can't do most of what we needed with function calls. The others can be handled with plugging more data into my session array. Somehow I thought this was a poor way of coding (I don't know why).

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..
