Alex007152 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi, I'm having some trouble with tracking user information. I'm currently stuck with the forums on my gaming website, i need to track what topics have been read by the user and wich topics are yet to be read. (e.g. newly created topics appear as "not read yet" to whoever hasn't read the topics). I've tried numerous way's to do this with sessions but it didnt turn out very well. I see boards everywhere displaying correctly wich topics i haven't read yet and wich i have read already. Any idea's on how to do this? I'd greatly appreciate all help to solve this problem.

rarebit Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 A session var won't store the info, you need to use a db or flatfile for persistent storage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea's on how to do it with a db or flatfile for persisten storage? Sessions didnt seem to work, just gave it a try though . Anyway, i'm using MySQL. I could do it with a db but im a bit concerned about the webspace it could take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
