Question

I have a problem with a php multistep form.
I need to perform the switching between the different forms only in one page.
In this page I switch the following cases:

 $_SESSION["profilo"]= $_POST["profilo"];
 $_SESSION["periodic"]=$_POST["periodic"];      
 $_SESSION["from"]=$_POST["from"];
 $_SESSION["to"]=$_POST["to"];
 $_SESSION["weekdays"]=$_POST["weekdays"];
 $_SESSION["start"]=$_POST["start"];
 $_SESSION["expire"]=$_POST["expire"];
$step = 1;

if(!isset($_SESSION["profilo"]))
{

    $step = 1;
}
elseif(isset($_SESSION["profilo"]) && !isset($_SESSION["periodic"]))
{

    $step = 2;
}
elseif(isset($_SESSION["periodic"]) && !isset($_SESSION["start"]))
{

    $step = 3;

}
else
{

    $step = 4;
}

then I execute the instruction

WriteForm($step);

which is a function that switches the different forms depending on the value of $step.
The problem is that after the second step, it kicks me back to the first form insted of going step 3. I think the problem is that the second time I hit “Submit”, in my second form i don’t have a “profilo” field: the following execution of my page overwrite $_SESSION[“profilo”] with a NULL value going back to step 1 cause of the if cycle.
How can I solve this problem?

EDIT:
for sake of information: form1 have just “profile” field, form2 have “periodic”, “from”, “to”, “weekdays”, form3 have “start”, “expire”.

 if(isset($_POST["profilo"])) $_SESSION["profilo"]= $_POST["profilo"];
 if(isset($_POST["periodic"])) $_SESSION["periodic"]=$_POST["periodic"];      
 if(isset($_POST["from"])) $_SESSION["from"]=$_POST["from"];
 if(isset($_POST["to"])) $_SESSION["to"]=$_POST["to"];
 if(isset($_POST["weekdays"])) $_SESSION["weekdays"]=$_POST["weekdays"];
 if(isset($_POST["start"])) $_SESSION["start"]=$_POST["start"];
 if(isset($_POST["expire"])) $_SESSION["expire"]=$_POST["expire"];
$step = 1;

if(!isset($_SESSION["profilo"]))
{

    $step = 1;
}
elseif(isset($_SESSION["profilo"]) && !isset($_SESSION["periodic"]))
{

    $step = 2;
}
elseif(isset($_SESSION["periodic"]) && !isset($_SESSION["start"]))
{

    $step = 3;

}
else
{

    $step = 4;
}
