filling out form in different sessions

[kralspace]

Hi all,

I've created a form that is pretty lengthy and contains fields for radio buttons, checkboxes and text boxes. Is there a way I can have PHP save and bring back the information if the user has to finish filling it out later? Do I have to use a database or is there another way?

Thanks, Kathy😕

You'll have to somehow remember the user--this would require a cookie. The information would also have to be stored somewhere. It can't be in a session since that would be deleted. Instead, you'll have to either use MySQL or a flat file.

Thanks for your help,

What is a flat file and how does it work? Would it be stored on the user's computer or our server?

Onward thru the fog,
Kathy
