Are you looking to code it yourself? If so, Here's the theory behind the concept... So you have this multiple page form that you want to save and continue at a later time correct? So you'll have to set up a save button. You will also require some way to recognize the same user when the come back (ex. a login system). So, when they half finish a form, and select the save button, you can send them to ex. save.php which will take all the user data, and store it in a mysql database, somehow tied the user (ex. a user id). When the user comes back and logs in, you can extract this form data from the database, display the form and use the form's value="" field to automatically fill in the data. Joseph E. Maxwell wrote:
Does anyone have any suggestions, info or references on php script/code that would enable partially completed multiple page forms that can be saved, retrieved and completed at a later date. I might add also enabling/disabling or other navigational features? I think there are are some java ones around but prefer php. Thanks
