multiple insert not including post data

Hi folks

I have a bit of a tricky form I have been working with and am having some problems with the multiple insert page.
basicly I have 4 pages each with respective forms.
each form passes a var via post to the next form, which works fine untill it reaches the 3rd page which uses a multiple insert.
The insert works fine but the extra vars I have which need to be passed via post to the 4th and final page are no longer available after insert and redirect.

I hope that makes sense..... will try and explain a little further :)

page/form 1 provides an insert which passes to page/form 2.

page/form 2 provides 2 fields which are selected with a slider, these are passed to page/form 3 via POST.

page/form 3 displays the vars as expected, essentially displaying the total inserts requested on page/form 2
Insert of the multiple fields works a treat! but the vars are no longer posted.

The 4th and final page/form is not displaying the total selected insert fields or the db data, which is both taken from var posted from page/form 2-3.

If I change page 4 to page 3 it works, so the vars are getting lost on insert of the multiple fields......


Any help would be great, am really in need of a solution for this as I have another 100 such forms to create.

I have a attached the 4 forms for viewing.

Any helps is greatly appreciated.

on the app2.php page, where you display the data, you need to add hidden form elements in order to pass it to the next page:
for example:

<td class="DetailsSublabel">Date Added:</td>
                      <td class="DetailsPage"><?php echo(($row_WADAcp_contents['cp_Date'])?date('n/d/Y',strtotime($row_WADAcp_contents['cp_Date'])):''); ?><input type="hidden" name="cp_Date" id="cp_Date" value="<?php echo(($row_WADAcp_contents['cp_Date'])?date('n/d/Y',strtotime($row_WADAcp_contents['cp_Date'])):''); ?>" /></td>

app2.php
has this one:
<input name="cpID" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_POST['cpID']; ?>">

which pass the id to app3.php which works fine!

app3.php has these which displays everything fine.

<input name="total_dir" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_POST['total_dir']; ?>">
<input name="total_sh" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_POST['total_sh']; ?>">

<input name="cpID" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_POST['cpID']; ?>">

the two new hidden fields are only entered on app2.php and passed to app3.php and work on app3.php.

but from app3.php - app4.php these are no longer displayed and are present in the form.

the form those elements are in on the app3.php page:
<form method="post" class="DetailsPage Cool_Default" id="Details_Cool_Default">
<ul class="Cool_Default">
<li>
<fieldset class="Cool_Default" id="Details">

<input name="total_sh" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_POST['total_sh']; ?>">

does not post to the app4.php page. it posts to itself because there is no action set.


Post data is only available to the action page.
