Okay, this means Form 1 can be entered from two directions:
1) the usual sequence (that is, the way users usually get to it)
2) getting back from Form 2
If you place a button on Form2 saying go back to form 1 when your user
presses it just post your current data back to the script of form1.
*PLUS* you add a hidden field called *FLAGBACK* (or whatever you want to
call it like.
when the script that prepares form1 is called it must check for
*FLAGBACK* being present. If not, it will do the same old stuff, if yes
you just write a new branch that will put the data back into form 1. Easy.
*BUT* all this will never protect your user in case he just presses
*back* on his browser. Make sure this is well explained on the page.

Re: [PHP] transporting variable via post to another site
sorry maybe I did explain it not good enough.
The problem is that if a user has entered data in form 2 goes back to form 1
and forward to form 2 again, the data he entered once in form 2 is lost. And
I do not find a way how the get the data out of form 2 because the back
button is placed in form 3 (same site as form2 ) to allow a different action
since we have to link to another site then in form 2.
sounds confusing? I know but I hope I explained it ok

Honestly yes, it does :( Cant't you draw a sort of diagram? Besides, I
will probably also need to know how data is modelled (that is, what your
tables look like) to give you meaningful advice.
