To go back to what I originally wrote. I found 1 error in the second form. Here is the corrected form. <?php session_start(); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html><body> <?php switch ( @$_POST['next_step'] ) { case 'step3': if ( empty($_SESSION['dob']) ) die('DOB was not set in session...'); $dateArr = explode('/', @$_SESSION['dob']); // calculate timestamp corresponding to date value $dateTs = strtotime($_POST['dob']); // calculate timestamp corresponding to 'today' $now = strtotime('today'); // check that the value entered is in the correct format if ( sizeof($dateArr) != 3 ) die('ERROR: Please enter a valid date of birth'); // check that the value entered is a valid date if ( !checkdate($dateArr[0], $dateArr[1], $dateArr[2]) ) die('ERROR: Please enter a valid date of birth'); // check that the date entered is earlier than 'today' if ( $dateTs >= $now ) die('ERROR: Please enter a date of birth earlier than today'); // calculate difference between date of birth and today in days // convert to years // convert remaining days to months // print output $ageDays = floor(($now - $dateTs) / 86400); $ageYears = floor($ageDays / 365); $ageMonths = floor(($ageDays - ($ageYears * 365)) / 30); echo "You are approximately $ageYears years and $ageMonths months old."; break; case 'step2': $_SESSION['dob'] = @$_POST['dob']; echo <<<FORM <form method="post" action=""> <input type="hidden" name="next_step" value="step3" /> Enter your kitten's name: <br /> <input type="text" name="cat" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Kitten" /> </form> FORM; break; case 'step1': default: echo <<<FORM <form method="post" action=""> <input type="hidden" name="next_step" value="step2" /> Enter your date of birth, in mm/dd/yyyy format: <br /> <input type="text" name="dob" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> FORM; } ?> </body></html> If this isn't it, I think you should explain (in sudo code) exactly the steps you are expecting things to. Example sudo code 1. display form 'A' 2. Person enters dob and presses submit 3. processing script stores dob submitted 4. display form 'B' 5. person enters name of kitten and presses submit 6. processing script retrieves dob previously stored 7. calculate age 8. display age ... 10. What happen to the kitten??? Form 'A': <form method="post" action=""> <input type="hidden" name="next_step" value="step2" /> Enter your date of birth, in mm/dd/yyyy format: <br /> <input type="text" name="dob" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> Form 'B': <form method="post" action=""> <input type="hidden" name="next_step" value="step3" /> Enter your kitten's name: <br /> <input type="text" name="cat" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Kitten" /> </form> Anyways, that is the idea.
