I am very new to PHP programming infact its just been 3 days since I started so I need your help .
I am creating a form which contains 4 pages . When user clicks on Back button , for example from page 2 to page 1 all the data which he previously selected on page1 should be be present there so that he need not fill it again .
Could you please help me with this by posting the code .
Here is the sample code
page1.php
<?php
session_start();
$session=session_id();
$_SESSION['session']=$session;
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action="oopssurvey.php" method="post">

<Input type ="radio" name="location" value="USA" <?php if($_SESSION['location'] == 'USA') echo "checked='checked'" ?>/>In the United states<br/>
<Input type ="radio" name="location" value="India" <?php if($_SESSION['location'] == 'India') echo "checked='checked'" ?>/>Outside of the United states<br/>
<input name="Operation1" type="submit" value="saveandresume" />
<input name="Operation2" type="submit" value="next" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
