Hey all, I am thinking about ways to stash user info on this site I am building. I am not sure what the best way to do this would be, so I will ask the experts.
http://www.oursmallgroup.com is a site where users can go to find out information about their church small group. The site will feature information relating to anywhere from 2 to 50+ small groups each with about 5-15 people. I would like the user to be able to "weed out" the other groups. To do this I am offering a drop down menu that will be printed dynamically from mySQL. After the user chooses a group from the list, the site will reload displaying content only relating to that group.
I think it would be a nice touch if the site "remembered" what group they chose and automagically loaded that choice as default the next time they visited the site. It could also be used in place of sessions in PHP could it not?
Anyway...I would like to generate some links for places I can go to learn about how to use cookies properly. I only want to store the small group selection. Nothing more.
Let the beatings begin.
