I would put in an extra page in the beginning, as you have it now, I guess, is:

page with link to form

first form page

second form page

...

yes or no page

kill session page


This has the funny thing that you recreate a session if you use the backwards
buttons and I guess thats what makes your session to be recreated. Do this
instead:

page with link to form

page creates session and then forward to next page with header()

first form page

second form page

...

yes or no page

kill session page


When you back from "first form page" you will come to "page with link to form"
without a new session is created. No new session is created when you go from
"second form page" to "first form page" as the session isn't created on that page.

Of course you can keep things like it is, but you have to check if there is a
session or not when you load "first form page", if none detected create a new
session, if session detected don't do anything.

I hope you did follow this quite late evening post.
