I am creating a system for a pizza shop that involves 3 pages. One is where the cashier clicks on menue items and it creates a temporary list with a name, time, and price attatched. This is then sent to the pizza section if pizza is on the slip (pizza page) or the “sub” page if not.

My only question is is it best to utilize mySQL databases in this instance where the data is temporaty? or some other method?

This will be on a site that is secure and password protected, so security is not my concern.

Thanks,
KEvin

1 - never take security for granted. There’s always a way, even more so when you get someone who thinks they’re all that. it doesn’t take a lot to mess up a db table. and it doesn’t take more than a small function to sanitize information.

2 - yes, use a db. sessions aren’t all that reliable and can easily get lost. plus, if someone calls up and says that their order was screwed up, then you can easily recall what the order was to see if the client gave the wrong info or if the employee entered the wrong toppings or whatever.
