I am trying to carry or echo the information that a user puts in a form, there are 3 forms the user needs to complete which are all on different pages, by the time they get to the 4th page i need all this information to be inserted into the mysql database all together.Now i have my sql query which puts the data into the database and this inputs the data fine but only puts in the data on the last page/which is the last form the user completes. Any other previous information the user puts into the earlier forms is not input into mysql even though i am using the values.i think you need to create a session to carry the data over to the next page, and so i am trying to do that like so, but its not working
