Re: Newbie

Both ways. I would use session if the form(s) must be completed at once. If someone can save forms 1 and 2 and another day return to complete the remaining steps, then a database might be better. Also, if you use a database to hold temp info that must fly between the forms, you would have to write more code (of if/else { SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE), and the performance overhead of so many db queries might not be a good idea. Can't afirm 100% since I don't know your complete enviroment, but from what you told and my personal experience, I would go with sessions. -- Julio Nobrega.
