How to add multiple pages on a PHP form
I have generated an online customer satisfaction survey form for my customers to complete after they attended the show they booked from us. The problem I am experiencing is that there are so many questions on the one page, that the customers often don't fill out the whole thing or don't fill it out at all.
I could of course, reduce the amount of questions, but then I won't get a good picture of how well our shows are.
Knowing this, I know that there are other websites that have surveys and what looks like multiple pages. So they fill out the first 5 questions, click on NEXT, and fill out the next 5, etc, etc.
I just don't know how to set-up multiple pages with this generated PHP form, so that it goes to the next page, but all the data is still submitted into the same database. I have attached the PHP script below.

Hi crush83,
Thanks for the information. The only problem is that because I am a beginner with this topic, what would I need to do so that the PHP form, knows which page to go to and how to store the data in the database. Where would I put the $_SESSION command, and how will the form know which page to go to next?
Cheers.

$_SESSION is a global array. First you will need to do session_start(); at the beginning of each page that will be using the $_SESSION array.
After using session_start(); you can store information in $_SESSION, for example:
$_SESSION['pageid'] = 1;
Then when you are displaying your content, you could do:
if ($_SESSION['pageid'] == 1) {
//Your code to display on page 1
} else if ($_SESSION['pageid'] == 2) {
//Your code to display on page 2
} else if ($_SESSION['pageid'] == 3) {
//Your code to display on page 3
} else {
//Your code to display when the pageid is invalid
}
You could also use a switch:
switch ($_SESSION['pageid']) {
case 1:
include('page1.html');
break;
case 2:
include('page2.html');
break;
case 3:
include('page3.html');
break;
default:
include('errorpage.html');
break;
}
Obviously your code will need to be a little more advanced and intricate than that, but it should give a general idea.
You should also do some checking on $_SESSION['pageid'] before trying to use it to make sure it is set and not empty or set to an invalid value.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Personally, I rarely use $_POST for this.
Advantages of using $_GET is you can direct url's to a specific page for instance: http://www.mydomain.com/survey.php?page=3
Advantages of using $_SESSION is that your user can't manipulate the page number directly, cutting down on user error.
In your case I would suggest using $_SESSION, since you need to collect information throughout the steps. When a user submits the first page, then the $_SESSION variable should be updated with the values from the previous page, and you could increment a session variable such as $_SESSION['page']++;
As long as a user has an active session, their data and page number will be stored in the $_SESSION. Hope this helps.
