I have 3 php scripts: in 1st one I create a temporary table (in MySQL) with name based on User ID, in 2nd I use that table and give a message to the user, in the 3rd one I use and delete temporary table and give message to the user.
My problem is that if user closes browser when he/she is on the 2nd page, I’m left with a temporary table in the database that needs to be dropped. What’s the best way to solve this?
If you use a common DB handle for all the access you could use ‘create temporary table <contents>’ and it would be deleted automatically when the handle is closed. This would clean up the mess should the session get closed prematurely.
