Hi,
I am making a small registration form about cars in three steps. The
first step is to fill in member data. After filled out the member data
hit "next" and enter car information. Hit "next" and upload pictures
of the cars which is step 3.
I have 2 database tables in mysql "member" and "cars". "member" is
used in step 1 and "cars" is used in step 2 and step 3.
What is proper design of making this work.
1. Is it to store the data in the database after finnishing each step?
If it is how do I handle cases when the user hit "back" and want to
change something on a prior step of the registration. How do I handle
if the user finnish step 1 och step 2 but exit and never do step 3?
etc..
2. or is it to validate the data and write it all down after
finnishing step 3. If this is the way to do it, how do I store
data(all variables used in step 1 and step 2) so I can fetch it in the
end of step 3 for write down in my database.
is there another way to do it? please help me to do this right...
I am writing this in PHP. Is there any praxis how to do registration
forms?
Is there any tutorial on this subject that I can read?
thanks
