Hi List I am quite experienced in PHP. I have been asked to design a complicated form in php that spans multiple pages and has many subitems. For instance if they select one checkbox, more details are required in the form of a dropdown list or radio buttons. It would allow browsing the different pages randomly, and final validation is only to be performed on the last page. In case of errors, it would load the page where the first error is found and display a message and highlight the faults. I currently made a list of all vars in an xml file, and associated a page number for each. Now when the page loads it looks up the vars used on that page and loads them from post (if present and stores them in session right away) or loads them from session if no post is present. Any ideas for improvements, common pitfalls, etc are highly appreciated. With kind regards Andy -- Now listening to Top!
