Did you read the docs? Have you understood what a multi-part form is?

Eeep. You don't have "a 3 page multi-part form". You may have forms on many
pages, they may even be multi-part ones but they are not a single form on
three pages.

Not really, each curl_formadd() call adds a single section in a multipart
formpost "chain". A single multipart post typicly consists of a number of
parts.

You want to do repeated posts to multiple pages that somehow keep a state?
Well, that sounds like the normal case for doing cookies and using the URLs
as returned etc.

That is impossible to say because we have no idea how the server you're
talking about works.
