You could use hidden fields to pass the data back and for or just use a session, otherwise the variables expire on that page I think I'm stuck on sessions now :) . So if there were 3 pages and then a final 4th page where the transactions to the database take place - without passing the session variables around , they will still be available on the 4th page ?

yes, you will have them available...to add new elements to the session, you will need to put session-start(); on each page THAT REQUIRES sessions

3 - Now I've run into an error: Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/lurkkcom/public_html/Multi2Return.php:2) in /home/lurkkcom/public_html/Multi2Return.php on line 3 Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/lurkkcom/public_html/Multi2Return.php:2) in /home/lurkkcom/public_html/Multi2Return.php on line 3

You have some additional output here...could be a blank line, a cookie or html output to the browser...CAN COME from an INCLUDE file, check it out...

On first page: I have session_start(); And on "Multi2Return.php" I have session_start(); I thought to continue session you need to put the session_start function on each page. If I remove though , I get nothing.

Yes, you do need it on each page that uses session variables
