Building a Survey - where to hold/store temporary input data? - El Forum - 02-16-2010
[eluser]helphelp[/eluser]
Hi, i am building a 40-70 questions survey. How should i store the user input? i want to do it in a way that if they are at question 10. They have the ability to go back to question 2 and modify the answer. Once they finish and submit the survey, all the user input will be deleted.
I have read the session user guide but it said it only can hold 4k??
Please light me up.
Thank You

4k is a lot of space for answers to questions. Store answers in an array
$data[70] = 'A';
You could also use a database to store the sessions in and then you have more space then 4K.
Or use PHP session instead of the codeignitor.

You could just not use a session, but use a database table to store each answer but don't set it as finished (ex..finished=0). Then use a session to store a key that is attached to the question rows for that user.
