For starters im making a survey form for a website and ive run into a bit of trouble, if anyone could help and point me in the right direction it would be muchly appreciated :)

Im a bit of a php/mysql noob, I can kinda make cookies, I kinda know how to start sessions and i kinda can insert data into mysql.

What i have at the moment is 6 pages. index.php, survey1.php, survey2.php, survey3.php, survey4.php, survey5.php and survey6.php. The survey pages are all pages which contains forms that i have to take the data from and insert into my sql. Except survey1 which just says do you want to start the survey and then takes you to the first survey page(I thought maybe I should start the session/cookie here. The pages have next and back buttons on them to navigate through the survey. I am only allowed to use php.

I'll post my assignment here so you can see what i have to do, could someone please help me out im really stuck. I've basically made all my forms, now I just need to make it all work. Heres what i need to do......

*	A student must access and complete section 1 before proceeding to any other section.  (For instance if a student types in the URL for section 2 they will automatically be redirected back to section 1 if they have not completed it)

*	A student must be able to navigate between each section once they have entered details for section 1.  

*	When a student navigates to a previous section, the data that they entered for that section will be displayed with the HTML form controls (e.g. for a input field of type text, it will be loaded with the value that was entered into it)

*	All input for each section must be validated before the student can continue to the next section.  If any data is not valid then the section must be redisplayed with HTML form controls loaded with previously entered data, along with appropriate error messages

*	This assessment must be developed using only PHP, HTML, and MYSQL and must run on your assigned webserver and database accounts.  No javascript, pop windows etc needed.

My next and back buttons dont work, im pretty much totally lost now, so anything would help me alot. Thanks guys

::EDIT:: Ive just been looking at some more stuff and i think ive got stuff going wrong so i thought I would post my code as well so you can see.......

for a situtation like this I like to use a session and a switch statement. i put all of my forms into seperate html files and include them based on the survey that needs to be displayed.

example (named survery.php):

<?php

session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['survey'])) {
  $_SESSION['survey'] = 1;
}
$survey = $_SESSION['survey'];
switch($survey) {
	case 1:
		if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { //name of the submit button
			//process survey 1 here
		}
		include 'survey1.html';
	break;
	case 2:
		if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
			//do the same thing
		}
		include 'survey2.html';
	break;
	case 3:
		i think you get the picture
	break;
	//and so on...
}

?>

And you need an action attribute in you opening form tag. ex. action="survey3.php"

And you need an action attribute in you opening form tag. ex. action="survey3.php"

Thats awsum thankyou, my next and back buttons work now =) Its all about baby steps lol. I can code C# and java ok, its just the syntax and stuff for php that is getting me. I know what i want my stuff to do, its just making it do it is the problem.

kkeith29 thankyou for that snippet, im still wrestling with it though. Thanks to you I now know its sessions i want to use to pass the variables from form to form, but im a little unsure where I want to put the php session code and how I have different sessions for new users etc. Im thinking i want to increment the session id or something like that. Also im pretty sure i want to pass the seesion id from page to page, but im still wrestling with that one too.

that was an html problem, do you know html? i would learn that first before jumping into php.

if you use my method you will only need one php page and 6 html pages. that one page will handle everything the project needs to do.

also, read up on sessions. i think you misunderstood how they work. if you get a better grasp on them you'll understand my code a little better.

Yeah i understand, someone else just explained to me what your code was doing just as you posted your reply. Yup I know html ok, its just php thats the killer at the moment. This assignment is due in two days and im struggling big time.

I've just sat here for 8 hours and im only a little further than when I began. Weve only just learnt this in class two weeks ago and now were expected to do this, im going to give it my best effort, but its not looking good so far.

Thanks for trying to help me though, really appreciate it.

I think im just going to put php on every page, cause that is all i know. I've just put

<?php 
session_start();
?>

on top of every page and im going to go from there. Fingers crossed.

If anyone has any other suggestions on how to do anything it would be much appreciated

I would use kkeith29's example and then in the part where he has put "//process survey 1 here" and "//do the same thing" I would loop through all the $_POST variables creating a session variable out of each one(preferably with a function call).

You can loop through the $_POST variables and add them to your session array like so:

foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
{
	if($key != 'Next' && $key != 'Back') //you don't want your submit buttons' values added
	{
		$_SESSION[$key] = $value;
	}
}

Then what you've got in the end of the survey is an array called $_SESSION that has the field names as keys and answers as values and you can loop through those just like mentioned above when adding them to your sql statement in the end while avoiding the $_SESSION variable which is used for navigation.
