Tabbed Forms.

[Deleted User 234324]

Recreating a form used on our website that spans 4 seperate forms, I've got the layout sorted along with the tabs and validation, but am unsure on how i would go about submitting all 4 forms in one go.

Each of the tabs (apart from the 4th) have a button to continue to the next step. The final page will have the submit button and be used to submit all 4 tabs.

Anyone used a similar system before and have any recommendations on how I can go about doing this ?

Basic idea is, 4 Spry tabs, 4 seperate forms, forms 1 - 3 do not submit but do validate themselfs, form 4 submits form 1 - 4.

How would i go about doing that as im not that familiar with sessions and how they work.

Would i just have each of the "continue" buttons store the validated data in a session (how?) then obviously have the final submit button pull all that data and send it to a "processor.php" file for example ?

I understand that storing a session variable is done with $_SESSION['variablename'] = $bobsyouruncle; but not sure how this data would be pulled from the forms without the form being submitted etc
