It is a funny question really, since you obviously know how to code a
multipage form, I am wondering why you ask?!
If the form is already submitted at that point there doesnt seem to be
much point keeping the data around anyway. Just call session_destory()
however if you want the button to destory it like you suggest, why not
think of the Thank you as the last-but-one page of the form, although
the details have been added to the database, you can then add some
logic to destoy the session if a further input of type="button" is
submitted.
Or have the form post to an entirely new page, perhaps one which
destroys the session and then redirects them to something of interest.
