Re: when to enter submitted in mysql?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Personally, I'd keep it all in the session and write at the end, but
this approach has at least two drawbacks:

1. The user cannot complete the process at a later point.
2. You cannot conduct analysis of part-completed data.

Cheers,
