details are entering into ‘user’ table and credit card details are  
entering ‘creditcard’ table.As the user entered his personnel  
information and credit card details and click on submit button the  
page posts all the variables into next page where user can conform his  
details.By clicking on conform only the data are being entered into  
user table and creditcard table. I need to pass the information from  
one page to next as session varibles? can anyone please help me.
