Hi all, This is just a query about what is the best way to store data temporary without submitting it to a db. The reason for this it because i have create app that take input data via a form and after i would like to preview the data entered before putting it into the db. The only idea i have had so far is the form gets submitted to db but has a boolean value field that is set to false meaning it will not show up till the process sets it to true then it will show up . i.e form -------------------- preview ----------------------- payment (Submitted But false) (View from db still false) (If ok set to true else delete from db) As anyone got any other suggestions on how this could be done.

For how long? Without knowing that, we can''t tell whether or not it would be sufficient to simply stuff the data into the session... -- Scott Ribe scott_ribe-ZCQMRMivIIdUL8GK/JU1Wg@public.gmane.org http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

This is the technique often used for shopping carts for example. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
