Question

I was reading a book about PHP and I wanted to know how can you store data(of web forms) in PHP pages? I know the process of creating a php file and recieving the data using $_POST(or any other way like this). But those values would be overwritten when you submit the webform again.

Without using the database or emailing the data, is there a way to store multiple webform’s data in PHP?

Answer 1

If you want to store submissions from multiple sessions (or clients), you’d have to use some sort of database.
It could be an RDBMS like MySQL, and it could be a simple file: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/storing-data-with-php-flat-file-or-database.html
