lucy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Im not asking for specific code, just pointers on how i would go about making a 3 stage signup process. By this i mean having one webpage for personal details, then clicking next and going onto a new page for user details, and another for another set of details. I want all of these to be entered into database, but ONLY at the end of stage 3, so all of the previous details entered must be saved somehow, untill the end of stage 3 and then all of them will be entered into a database. I know how to enter data into the database but i dont know how to temporarly save some data from a previous webpage, and then at the end, submit all the data. If the user closes the webpage, then the signup process should stop. Thanks for any pointers.
