The data will be stored in mysql, but I don't wish to store in sql untill its completed. In case a user leave the application before completing it.

Perhaps you could consider using the session save handler functions to store the session data in your protected database (MySQL?). Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Chris Kay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 11:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Writing to files Question I have is, Anyway know of a better way to store temp information? I have a problem that a script I use, uses many pages and after each page the information from the form Is stored and the next page is shown ect.... It uses more than 20 variables so I can not store the data in cookies. I could store the data in a temp file created but problem is that the webserver would need to create The file which is a security risk (I would like to find another way other than this). I don't really want to use sessions but if it's the last resort I guess I will have to. Other than the above any one have a better soluition?
