RE: [PHP4BETA] hidden variables !<form>

Use a serialized hash to store the old values, and pass that one hash from page to page. Each page adds new values to the hash and then re-serialises the hash to put it in the hidden field. I usually move within different portions of the same page, so if a submission was incomplete I can easily show the section that still needs completing.
