form processing several included pages at same time

[Chomauk]

I'm not exactly sure what I want(PHP wise) or how to do it... I have a page and on that page I have some tabs and on each tab is an included page showing similar information. When I choose a number and submit it on the main page I want each included page(tab) to be updated. Is there a way to do this in PHP? Do I use global variables and refresh or what? I'm kinda lost and can't find any that appears to be related to what I'm describing.

thanks

If PHP is to be part of the solution, then I would recommend the use of session[/i] variables and page refreshes.

The script or scripts that maintain this set of pages will produce the forms each time they are run. When a form is filled in and submitted, the data-accepting script will store the values in session variables. When a form is to be displayed, the script that produces it can check the session store to see whether data for that form is available -- if it is, it will pre-populate the form fields with the previously-submitted data.
