I assume you are building up all your fields as you move through the site.
I would just perform an INSERT into your tempmebers table right away
setting whatever fields you have at this point.  Then as I pass through
each data entry page, I would do UPDATES to that record updating only
those new fields, leaving the old ones alone and thus preserved.

This way you only have to pass a record ID and the new parameters on each
page thus eliminating moving data through the URL.  Yuk.

Anyway, that's what I would do.
