I am working on a web site using html, php and mysql. I am dividing the page to sections (Personal info section, Project Section, figure section…) I have each section on a separate page.
I want to give the user the possibility to save the information he entered and finish it later on.
Can any 1 throw some hints?
Should I save the entered data in the same database and keep track of the (page/section) where he stopped at, or save the info in a separate (‘temporary’) database and once he’s done parse this data to the permanent database.
Thanks

I would save it into the main database then have an additional field to mark the information as completed or not completed. You can then timestamp it and occasionally delete old information that is not completed.
By finish it later, how much later do you mean? If we are talking minutes then use sessions.
