[SOLVED] save data issue

[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

i did something like this when i created an application process.

 

i recorded the data into the same database.  I have a column that captures a 1 or 2 to determin if the form has been saved or submitted.  if the form was saved, a 1 is stored and the submit button is still visible.  The 'Save' Button is replaced by an 'Update' button so the user can update the information.  When the user submits the form, a 2 is captured and the 'Submit' Button disappears so the user cannot submit twice.

 

i hope this is a push in the right direction.
