The idea is to have the script start to load, prompt for a question or more,
then use the data from the response to complete loading the page and avoid
having to post all of the variables from page to page to get all of the
responses back. A lot of the questions are formed based on the answers to
previous questions so I'm trying to keep the number of separate pages to a
minimum by using such a technique. I understand that Java can provide this
function, but I want to do as much with PHP and as little as possible with
Java.

... in addition to what the others already said, let me just ask a couple of
questions:
1. Do you really need to "pause"? What did you exactly mean by "pause"?
2. Is it even necessary to "pause"?
Just wondering...
