I am trying to create a form in multi steps. what i am trying to do is in the first page user will enter two field i.e title and description which will get saved in the database and then they are redirected to the second page where they need to few more details, but here i want to put a condition that these values should be added in front of the row that has the value of title which was saved in the previous page.
here is what i have done so far

$title = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['title']);
$category = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['category']);
$sql="INSERT INTO creatorproject(title,category) VALUES ('$title','$category')";
if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql))
{

}
header("Location: page_two.php");

When i run this code it is not inserting values from the second page.. Would appreciate some help and would be grateful if someone could explain the procedure as i am new to this field and would love to learn about it.
P.S- i have also used creator_session that stores the login details of the user as the user have to fill these forms after signing in, therefore the entire login process has been done with the session
