PHP form help

[rh71]

How do I create a PHP form that exists across multiple pages like http://www.shop4t1.com/ has (right side). Obviously the values don't get submitted until the entire form on the next page is complete. How do I get it to retain the values when clicking on to step 2 and submit everything (to an email address) after ?

I'm a total newbie at PHP, but I managed to do a simple 1-page form value submission to an email address.

Any links, guides, tips, or hints are appreciated.

Use sessions.

With sessions you can pass data on to multiple pages easily.

By the way, you could also pass the values into an hidden HTML input tag.

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $value_to_be_passed; ?>" name="value_name" />

Thank you. Both of these options look like they will do the trick... if there are any other solutions, feel free. Learning PHP as I go, so it's not like I'm band-aiding stuff here and there.
