I am writing a small application to track a weekly league participation.

I have a login area where a user can log in and enter all of the member
information, weekly participation, and results.

The way that I am thinking of it is like this:

1. user logs in
2. click link to enter information
3. user is then shown a list of all available members, with check boxes next
to their names, check the necessary participants.  There is also an ADD NEW
yes/no radio button selection

if the user select yes on the ADD NEW:

4. they are sent to an addmember form where they can enter member name, addr,
email, phone, etc... they have the option to SAVE and ADD NEW or to simply SAVE
and CONTINUE.  When submitted, each new member gets added to the members table

OTHERWISE

5. once all new members have been added, user is sent to a form where they can
enter results.  this page will have a series of dropdown lists populated with
the names of members (gotten from step 3 & 4).  Once submitted, the database is
updated

HERE IS THE QUESTION:  WHAT IS BEST PRACTICE?  SHOULD I BE PASSING THESE
VARIABLES FROM PAGE TO PAGE VIA FORM VARIABLES OR SESSION VARIABLES...OR USING
SOMETHING ELSE????

ANY SUGGESTIONS

THANKS
