phpsql1 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I am working on a web site using html, php and mysql. I am dividing the page to sections (Personal info section, Project Section, figure section…) I have each section on a separate page. I want to give the user the possibility to save the information he entered and finish it later on. Can any 1 throw some hints? Should I save the entered data in the same database and keep track of the (page/section) where he stopped at, or save the info in a separate (‘temporary’) database and once he’s done parse this data to the permanent database.

trq Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Just save the data in the database as is, but have a field (status) that you can switch between incomplete or complete depending on wether or not the article is finished.
