Moved to PHP - Code.

What code have you written already? It is easier for us to help you when you show us what you have tried that hasn't worked.

You can use a session, you can use cookies or you can use hidden form fields to keep track of where you are.

Not really. I say try something and let us help you. Start by making a single form page that posts back to itself. From there consider what would be the best tracking mechanism to maintain state of the form submissions. Then integrate that into your client side and server side logic.

Does that make any sense?
