i figured out what I needed… only issue now is your redirect happens really late.
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION[‘qcf1’] = $_POST[‘qcfname1’];
$_SESSION[‘qcf2’] = $_POST[‘qcfname2’];
$_SESSION[‘qcf3’] = $_POST[‘qcfname3’];
?>
this allows me to use the submitted form content on the redirected page
