any ideas

[phpsql1]

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.

 

Thanks

safest method would be to save the data in a temp table or normal table and when the visitor returns to the page simple fill the form in with what was entered previously.

 

EASIEST method would be to use sessions and store info in there - this requires the client to have cookies enabled (which is most but still some may not!)

Wrong section.

 

But yes, saving the data in a database will be helpful. But try not to use cookies.
