Processing Forms

[khurram]

Here's the situation:

Once a customer decides what they want to buy, they following steps occur:

1. Billing and Shipping Info (Form 1)
2. Select Shipping Method and Payment (Form 2)
3. Confirm order (Form 3)
4. All information is written to DB

Is there a way to pass all the information from steps 1-3 that the customer enters so that in step 4, the info can be written to the DB.

I was thinking of using hidden inputs all the way through but I wasn't sure.

Some people use hidden fields, others use cookies and others use sessions. If you're going to store any sensitive info like CC numbers, passwords etc then hidden fields are probably a bad idea. Sessions are a popular way.
