script help please

Well, do you know about hashes (keys/values), and getting form data?
You could submit the fields to the script, then print all the data
into hidden fields, along with the new forms. Have a hidden field
all the way through that will keep track of page numbers.

some beginning page:

..HTML code..
<input type=text name=name>
<input type=hidden name=page value=1>
<input type=submit>
..more HTML code..

script:

..some code..

$page = $form{`page`};

if ($page == 1) {

print "<input type=hidden name=name value=$form{`name`}>";
print "<input type=hidden name=page value=$page+1>";
print "<input type=text name=address>";
print "<input type=submit>";
}

if ($page == 2) {

print 3 hidden tags: name, address, and page

print "<input type=text name=city><input type=text
name=state><input type=text name=zip>";
print "<input type=submit>";
}

repeat pattern for the other 2 pages

if ($page == 5) {

print "Name: $form{`name`}<br>";
repeat for the other fields
}

Don`t forget to set the form action to the same script, and to add
one to page everytime through.

This starts off with one field and a page tracker. Every time you
submit, it puts the form fields into hidden fields and based on the
tracker prints the new fields.

If you have any questions, or want to say that I can`t teach, please
post back
