My First All PHP Script

[traq]

cool.

Have you thought about storing the history in a cookie instead of a session (so it shows up if they close->re-open the browser).

I'm a little surprised you (John) didn't do it that way. I'd use localStorage (there are several JS polyfills for browsers that don't support web storage yet). But I understand, we're focusing on the PHP side.

code is good. biggest thing I'd change is how you're storing the quotes -

array( quote,citation,quote,citation )

is pretty fragile. For a flat file, I'd use JSON, and put each quote/citation pair in their own array.

[
   [ quote,citation ]
  ,[ quote,citation ]
]

if you'd like to hear more, let me know. I'll read it all the way through tomorrow.

I'd thought of that too. And it is a better way to do it. But the way they're stored now is so much easier to maintain, especially for a non-coder. It would be fairly easy to change things around to accommodate various formats for the quotation file/data.

Sure, I did this to learn as much as anything else. And that's one of the reasons why I posted, to get comments.
