I am creating a series of forms that collect information this covers 3 screens before I want to write it out to the database. when I go from one screen to the next I have tried hidden and readonly input boxes but the data in the hidden and readonly fields from screen one do not make it to the final page. Is there a way to get the data from page one without letting the users modify the information. I guess I could write the data to the database but how do I find the record number of the data I just wrote so that I can update the information, will php tell me the record number? I am using php 5.2.1 and mysql 5.x thanks for your help. Are working with the data from Form 1 before going to form 2 and so forth?

If you are not, then you could look into a three layered div with tabs and keep it all on one page. -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V by William Shakespeare
