使用php进行多页面表单验证

Question

This is my first post, so be kind ; )

I'm wanting to create a multi page form with php.

The form will spread over 3 pages, each page will need to validate on the data entered into the form on the client (using jquery validation) and if javascript is disabled, on the server, where error messages need to be displayed beside the related form field.

Upon validation, the data needs to be passed to the next page in the form, preferable using session variables.

The main problem I'm having is that most validation scripts now leave the action="" as being self referring to the current page, and as such post variables cannot be passed onto a different page in the chain of forms.

I want to have a validation script that will validate, and then post to a new page upon clicking the submit button.

Thanks

Peter

You don't have to post to the next page.

You can validate the form fields on the current page, store them in a session, then use a header("location: nextPage.php"); exit(0); redirect to go to the next page.
