Are you wanting the preferences to be real-time changeable? For example,
user preferences that can be modified then saved? If so, just store them in
an array, then serialize the array and save it to a file. Read the file at
every page load.
[code]
//save the settings
$user_settings['setting1'] = 'foo';
$user_settings['setting2'] = 'bar';
$fh = fopen('user_settings.dat');
$serialized = serialize($user_settings);
fwrite ($fh, $serialized, strlen($serialized));
fclose($fh);
//reload the settings
$user_settings = unserialize(file_get_contents('user_settings.dat'));
[/code]
Hope this helps.
