squiblo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hi guys, I'm working on a project that handles a lot of inserts into a database and uploads files to FTP. Lets say this is the order: - Step 1: Insert row into database - Step 2: Upload files to FTP - Step 3: Email user to confirm complete If the user closes the browser soon after Step 1 has complete Step 2 and 3 will not run. I would prefer if all 3 steps were complete or none at all. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

jamesjmann Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hmmm, I'm thinking you can keep track of each step completed. Maybe insert a row into a table that keeps track everytime a user starts step 1. if he/she closes out after it, when they log back in next you can display a message like "Finish uploading files" or whatever it is you want them to do. Then take them to a page where they can do step 2. Once step 2 is completed, update same record in database saying it's completed. Same with step 3. Once all steps are completed, either make note of that in record or simply delete it.
