Guys,

I have a couple of issues which I am hoping you can provide guidance
on...

First one:- Is there any way to retain the $_POST values when a user
navigates between pages without using <form method = 'post'>

I want to be able to track the user from one page to another to provide
customised content. I could make all navigation buttons as forms but
its a bit of a pain in the proverbials

Second one, which is related to the first:-

I have submitted and validated data in a form where the action is
$PHP_SELF.

I need to insert a record into a database.

The user will have selected a venue which may have more than one event.
The validation checks the database for the number of events and if
there is only one, chooses that as the default. If there is more than
one then it needs to display another form to select the correct event
but I obviously need to pass all the $_POST values through this new
form so that I can insert it into the database... Should I just
iterate through the $_POST array with hidden fields on the form, or can
I pass the whole array through while adding array elements to it?
