Problems with a multi page form
Hey guys,
I try to get a multi page form working… Though I am a php grub I would need your help. The browers allways returns the following error mesage: [Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/1/d81319025/htdocs/1/fieldforwarder.php on line 49]
Thanx for your help
