Can you please explain what I am doing wrong? Every tutorial I see doesnt cover what I am doing it seems.

[code]
<?
// START THE SESSION
session_start();

// SET THE CONFIGURATION
require('includes/config.php');

        // SET VARIABLES
        $morgage_type = $_POST['$morgage_type'];
        $loan_amount = $_POST['$loan_amount'];
        $loan_type = $_POST['$loan_type'];
        $amortization_type = $_POST['$amortization_type'];
        $subject_address = $_POST['$subject_address'];
        $subject_county = $_POST['$subject_county'];
        $subject_units = $_POST['$subject_units'];
        $subject_description = $_POST['$subject_description'];
        $subject_title = $_POST['$subject_title'];
        $subject_title_manner = $_POST['$subject_title_manner'];
        $subject_pay_source = $_POST['$subject_pay_source'];
        $amortization_type = $_POST['$amortization_type'];
        $lot_aquired = $_POST['$lot_aquired'];
        $lot_cost = $_POST['$lot_cost'];
        $lot_liens = $_POST['$lot_liens'];
        $lot_value = $_POST['$lot_value'];
        $lot_improve = $_POST['$lot_improve'];
        $refi_aquired = $_POST['$refi_aquired'];
        $refi_cost = $_POST['$refi_cost'];
        $refi_liens = $_POST['$refi_liens'];
        $refi_purose = $_POST['$refi_purose'];
        $refi_desc_improve = $_POST['$refi_desc_improve'];
        $refi_cost = $_POST['$refi_cost'];

        // REGISTER SESSIONS
        session_register ($morgage_type);
        session_register ($loan_amount);
        session_register ($loan_type);
        session_register ($amortization_type);
        session_register ($subject_address);
        session_register ($subject_county);
        session_register ($subject_units);
        session_register ($subject_description);
        session_register ($subject_title);
        session_register ($subject_title_manner);
        session_register ($subject_pay_source);
        session_register ($amortization_type);
        session_register ($lot_aquired);
        session_register ($lot_cost);
        session_register ($lot_liens);
        session_register ($lot_value);
        session_register ($lot_improve);
        session_register ($refi_aquired);
        session_register ($refi_cost);

if you have register_globals set to off in your php.ini, session_register will not work. You should use $_SESSION instead.

$_SESSION['morgage_type'] = $morgage_type;
$_SESSION['loan_amount'] = $loan_amount;
$_SESSION['loan_type'] = $loan_type;
$_SESSION['amortization_type'] = $amortization_type;

etc...etc.

Even if you have register_globals enabled, don't use session_register. Use the explicit references to the $_SESSION array and please read the manual section on [a href=\"http://www.php.net/session\" target=\"_blank\"]sessions[/a].

BTW, you can probably shorten your code greatly by:
[code]<?php
// Set the variables
extract($_POST);
// create and store the session variables
foreach($_POST as $k => $v)
    if ($k != 'submit')  // I'm assuming you don't want to store the submit key
       if (!isset($_SESSION[$k])) $_SESSION[$k] = $v; // This wil not overwrite any previously stored session values. If you don't care, remove the "if (!isset($_SESSION[$k]))".
?>[/code]

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/styles/main.css">

<body>
<?php


if(isset($step))
{
  if($step == '1') // Gets from the variable $step the section number
  {
    $step = "1";
  }
