I have a script, which contains three forms broken down with if statements, as follows:


if ($_GET['Step_3']) {
"Last Page"
} else ($_GET['Step_2']) {
"Second Page"
} else {
"Start Page"
}


Now, I have a random number that gets generated when the script loads, under the first page section, and I want to carry it through to the other three pages.

The submit button on each page is called Step_2 (on the first page), and Step_3 (on the second page). The last page will simply be a confirmation that everything has been submitted and went through sucessfully.

I tried adding the value, $tempid, as hidden field, but it doesn't seem to goto the second page.

Any ideas?

Well, I hope you know that just putting in "Start page" isn't going to do anything, in fact it's going to yell at you.

Also, you may want to check the form method, if it's not set to GET it's not going to work, I would recommend using POST anyways.

Here's what I would do:
Setup your form tag like this:
<form name="steps" method="POST" action="yourscript.php?step=(next step here)">

If you need to, you can even set up a variable for the step part in that url and make take the current step and add one. The rest of the form values should be accessed with $_POST. Using the POST method in forms is not only much more secure, it's much nicer looking not having a ton of things in the URL.
