Hi John, Thanks for your response.
Actually i am thinking on the same way except saving the URL of the page. You gave me a really good tip of storing the URL with all other information. Additionally, i was thinking to implement the "Save" feature of MS word. So user can keep saving his/her work after some period of time.. There is still one problem. On so many forms on my education intranet application, students are submitting the final projects with the supporting documents and images. Once they submit the final project, my script is performing serveral error checking for the file size, extension etc. What should i have to do for those kind of stuff? Because if someone submits a very large file then my script won't be able to upload the file (because of PHP file upload limit set into the php.ini) Let me know if you have any suggestion for improving this functionality a little bit more. Thanks again for your positive reply. Hardik --- "John W.
