:)

Ok, when you're on last_name.php and don't enter anything in
then you go to father_name, father name will redirect you to
last_name which notices that now first_name is unset and then
redirects you yet again to first_name.php.

You need this in father_name:

        header("Location:http://www.startboxes.com/test/validation/last_name.php3?first_name=$first_name");

You also need this in the form on the last_name page:

<input type=hidden value="<?=$first_name?>">

so you can pass first_name off to fathers_name.php

best of luck,
