{
$name= $_POST["name"];
$pass= $_POST["pass"];

You can create some hidden fields in page 2 and assign $_POST['name'] and other one to hidden fields, so that you can get it on page 3 using POST — Gagan Upadhyay, Jan 20 '16 at 10:23
@GaganUpadhyay give much easy and correct solution you just put hidden field in page2 get that value in page3 using post method.. — Maksud Mansuri, Jan 20 '16 at 10:30
@RomanPerekhrest i have almost 30 fields, in first page in contain 10 fields and 2 page contains 20 feilds. and also i need to skip 3 pages for my project. so it is difficult to make hidden fields — Padma Rubhan, Jan 20 '16 at 10:39
@PadmaRubhan, I didn't suggest you 'hidden fields' - you have confused in suggestions — RomanPerekhrest, Jan 20 '16 at 10:42
@PadmaRubhan, do you intend to use a single js file for all `page1.php`, `page2.php`, `php3.php` pages? — RomanPerekhrest, Jan 20 '16 at 11:47

We can maintain the data without using session variable or database storage, using the "input type=hidden" property like this

  <form method="post" action="page3">
  <?php
      if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
        {
             $name= $_POST["name"];
             $pass= $_POST["pass"];
        }
  ?>
  <input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo $name; ?>">
  <input type="hidden" name="pass" value="<?php echo $pass; ?>"> 
  <input type="submit" name="submit1" value="submit">
  </form>

And you can retrieve this values in your 3rd form using post variables like this..

   <?php
          if(isset($_POST["submit1"]))
           {
              $name= $_POST["name"];
              $pass= $_POST["pass"];
              echo $name;
              echo $pass;
             }
   ?>

Although I personally wouldn't recommend this method for a sensitive data as passwords, as the users can see the values in html form if they need to, using inspect element.

I think this answer is what you can implement.But best solution will be to store the values in session variables. http://stackoverflow.com/a/1981681/1920918 — abhishek, Jan 20 '16 at 10:57
