Unless your user wishes to complete the form from a different machine, of
course.
I really don't understand the dogmatic antipathy to storing information in
the database. Sometimes it is a better solution - horses for courses.
Rolling your own session management tool, whilst undoubtedly fun and
satisfying, is hardly an appropriate solution to this type of enquiry, which
is apparently from someone taking their first steps in web development.
I should probably explain that I come from an ASP background and so have an
inherent mistrust of sessions, although I am coming to understand that PHP
sessions are much more reliable.
Sorry about the three posts before, my mistake.
