I have no idea what a &quot;master detail program&quot; is. &nbsp;But sessions are temporary. &nbsp;Anything you want saved in a database should be saved when you get it. &nbsp;If you wait, you will find out that a lot of users don't logout or finish a session properly so the data never gets put in the database.

I think you are in the right way.<br />
There is not sense to save the master in the database, if the user is not &quot;finished&quot;.<br />
<br />
I have used the session to save objects (classes), with the master, and the collection of details.<br />
And just saving when the user finish<br />
<br />
For example with a E-commerce system, you can let the user to explore and add items to the cart,<br />
and you can save those items in the session, and when the user finish the buying, then save all the data in the database

Is there any best practice for master detail web programming?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

A web application framework (WAF) is a software framework that is designed to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications, web services and web resources. The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed in web development. Most common web application frameworks are defined by specific subsets, including ASP.NET, JaveEE, Symfony, ColdFusion Language (CFML), Laravel, jQuery and AngularJS, or for the related languages, including .NET, PHP, JavaScript, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C++ and C.

Web Frameworks

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
