Cant setup multipage forms - xtreem88 - Apr 4th, 2012

I'm new to formtools, ive read all the tutorials for creating forms, creating a single form was a breeze, but the multi-form seems complex.

The tutorial says the form should start with

PHP Code:
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>" method="POST"> 

but when i do this it doesnt do anything, the page just reloads but when i start with

PHP Code:
<form action="http://localhost/formtools/process.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 

it submits but doesnt redirect to the next page
Heres my first page:

PHP Code:
<?php
require_once("global/api/api.php");
//$fields = ft_api_init_form_page("", "test");
 $fields = ft_api_init_form_page(3, "initialize");
$params = array(
  "submit_button" => "Continue",
  "next_page" => "next_page.php",
  "form_data" => $_POST,
  "file_data" => $_FILES
    );
ft_api_process_form($params);

?>

</head>

<body>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>" method="POST">
First Name:  <input type="text" name="FirstName" value="<?=htmlspecialchars(@$fields["FirstName"])?>">
<br />
<br />
Last Name:  <input type="text" name="LastName" value="<?=htmlspecialchars(@$fields["LastName"])?>">
<br />
<br /><input type="hidden" name="form_tools_initialize_form" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_tools_form_id" value="3" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html> 

and the next page:

PHP Code:
<?php
require_once("global/api/api.php");
//$fields = ft_api_init_form_page();
$fields = ft_api_init_form_page(3, "initialize");
$params = array(
  "submit_button" => "Continue",
  "next_page" => "next.php",
  "form_data" => $_POST,
  "file_data" => $_FILES,
  "no_sessions_url" => "start.php",
  "finalize" => true
    );
ft_api_process_form($params);
?>
