In a single script it could be a little nasty if you want more then one
or two phases - its common to have a submit and view result on the same
script, but multiple stages can become a maintaince nightmare, but you
can do it like this:
You could use a "mode" indicator and a session settings. Look for
start_session() in the manual.
Something like:
<?php
start_session();
if(!isset($_SESSION['mode'])){
$_SESSION['mode'] = 0; // first time round, on first screen
}
// function to test if mode is 0 AND button pressed (ie a submission,
// deal (store) the information and increment mode
if($_SESSION['mode'] == 0){
?>
<form 1> </form 1>
<?php
} else if ($_SESSION['mode'] == 1) {
?>
<form 2> </form2>
<?php
}
?>
