Ok it seems there was some problems last time I posted (sorry about that guys) so Ill give it another shot. I am creating a form which is 3 pages long (step1.php, step2.php, and step3.php) then after all the forms are filled out I need to display all the data on a "final.php" page so the visitor can double check their input for errors and if any errors, beable to correct them (via back button) and if not, submit the forms and enter the data into the db. With that said here is some snippets of my forms...
This is "step1.php"
[PHP]<form name="step1" method="post" action="basic2. php">
<?php include ('db_scripts/db_connect_inse rt.php'); ?>
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tbody><tr>
<td colspan="2"><b> Please enter a valid e-mail address. You will need to confirm your e-mail address to activate your account.</b>
</td>
...
<td class="required ">Company Name</td>
<td class="required "><input type="text" name="comp_name " size="20" maxlength="15" /></td>
...
<td class="required ">Establish ment Type</td>
<td class="required ">
<select name="comp_type ">
<option selected>- Select One -</option>
<option value="bars">Ba r</option>
<option value="clubs">C lub</option>
<option value="coffee_s hops">Coffee Shop</option>
<option value="resturan ts">Resturant </option>
</select>
</td>
...
<td class="required ">Address</td>
<td class="required "><input type="text" name="comp_addr ess" size="30" maxlength="30" /></td>
...
<td class="required ">Phone Number</td>
<td><input type="text" name="comp_phon e" size="20" maxlength="40" /></td>
...
<td class="required ">Email Address</td>
<td><input type="text" name="comp_emai l" size="30" maxlength="20" /></td>
...
<td class="required ">Website Address</td>
<td><input type="text" name="comp_web" size="30" maxlength="20" /></td>
...
<td class="required ">Descripti on</td>
<td><textarea name="comp_desc " cols="30" rows="12"></textarea></td>
...
<td class="verdana1 1" align="right" width="125"><p> </td>
<td><input onClick="basic2 .php" type="submit" name="submit" value="Go to step 2" /></td>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>[/PHP]

Now last time I posted this I also added the third form but there was to much code posted here so the post had to get deleted. If this has to get deleted ill take an attempt to make the in here much shorter and simplified. Anyway what I am looking for cuz im such a noob, is to set these forms up with sessions and to do the db insert query when needed as described in the first paragraph. Thank you all so much in advance for your help.
