Why do you think we need to remove prevUrl if current step less or equal 1? There will be problem if somebody use this placeholder and it will disappear in new version.
Can you please describe this or return prevUrl for first step?

I may be not accounting for a particular scenario, but why would you show a previous URL if you're on the first step?

I agree with you. But if we delete this, we should change major version number I think. Because this broke backward compatibility. But maybe I'm wrong. I will ask somebody

Ok, let me know. FYI, I verified that this change we're debating does not affect the functionality I'm introducing, so it can be reverted back if needed. If I remember, I made that change because the original line in the code caught my eye and didn't make sense to me.

@smg6511 First of all, thank you for putting in the work!

Can you revert this part please, so we don't do any breaking changes?
Also could you add a section in the readme describing what you added and how that can be implemented? This will make it easier for other users to find out that it is possible and how they can achieve this.

@smg6511 Can you make this a single line PHP comment like this?
/* Default redirect destination. */

@smg6511 Please add a whitespace after (int):

@smg6511 Can you move the ; sign?

Update: Converted this to a draft, as it applies to an outdated implementation of Formalicious. See new port at PR #39.
Adds ability to have multiple submit buttons/inputs. With this change (and a specific method of setup in the form templates), form data can be posted when navigating away from the current form step.
Note: To use this feature, an addition/change to Formit is required as well (see PR 259 on Formit repo).
