PHP arrays for storing data

Question

I am creating a site that requires a user to add tags to their forum. I have already implemented the form and button to add tags to an array, but I am wondering if there is a way in which:

when a user clicks on the "add tag" button again, it will add the new tag to the array even when the page refreshes...

It must go to the database! There are no other way to do this task, unless you do not need the tags forever. You can store the tags in a super global $_SESSION but it will die soon or later. — devasia2112

ok. just needed the tags to be stored somewhere before the "save" button was clicked and then sent to the database. Thank you — ashley

you'll probably want to use a database for what you're trying to do. An array in a php script is short-lived, it only exists for the duration of that single request.
