Answer 2

Well, there's no out-of-box support for multi-step forms in ZF, you can come with your own implementation easily of course - generally Zend_Form_SubForm and sessions are used. Then it is up to you as developer how to implement back button - whether it's a normal button which serves as flag for the sub-form processing code, or javascript.

Since multi-step form is something many developers needed, there are tons of resources on how to do it. Google, and you'll see for yourself. Just to name a few:

• Official ZF Docs
• Quite Straightforward Implementation
