Alain, I would make everything on a single page. A text input for the Question Title A dropdown list for the different types A textarea for the answer section Then below the form just put two buttons: "Finished" which will save the last question and take them to your homepage "Submit Another" which will save the current question and then blank our the answer textarea You can use AJAX to make it seemless as far as the submission of data goes, or you could do <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?> as your submit action.
