Save entries for later instead of losing info.

I have to create the functionality to allow users the ability to save entries from my form for later instead of losing information. Any suggestions.

depends (are you saying you want to put it on client pc?...*shivers*)

Low security/low amount of info:
short term, I'd use session variables

longer term I'd use text file, database, or XML depending on the complexity/amount of data.

Higher security?
if these include passwords/secure information, you CANNOT leave that on the client. And i'd shade away from txt and xml files too. I'd recommend temporarily storing it on the server DB if possible. If you leave it in session variables you're prone to session highjacking, and with it being in the DB that's at least another layer to get through in order to obtain the info. Plus timestamps make it easier to clear unused/erroneous saved data.

that's my 2 cents.
