/* Why store each page separately?
Unfortunately, checkbox items only get submitted when they are checked. Nothing gets submitted
for an unchecked checkbox.
If you simply merged new elements to a single array after each page was submitted,
only the submitted elements would be overwritten, so you would have no way of removing
a checkbox item that had previously been checked.
Therefore, we must completely erase and rewrite all form elements stored in the session
each time those form elements are submitted. By storing each page's elements in
separate arrays, we can accomplish this with the single line of code above.

[edit reason] fixed sidescroll [/edit]
There are three ways around this:-
1) Set a session variable after inserting form1
2) Set a cookie after inserting form1
3) Add a type='hidden' form field to form2 when it is output with the content of $id as the value - this means form2 must be output AFTER form1 is inserted (but still in the same page-load)
Once finished, I use an UPDATE to add the rest of the data. The only downfall is that partial submissions are possible but that is not an issue.
