I do a lot of php and javascript, but I think this is relatively language-agnostic question. Are there any best-practices for when to use each of:
- URL variables
- SESSION variables
- cookies
I understand the inherent limitations of what some of them
can't do, but it seems like their use can overlap sometimes, too, and
those instances are what I'm really asking about.
EDITJust to clarify: I'm pretty familiar with the technicalities of which method is stored where, and which the client/server can access. What I am looking for is something a little higher-level, like "temporary user settings should live in cookies, data state info should live on the server, etc..."Thanks!
