Is it advisable to store user entries in a separate table and reset them for the next tip submission in PHP?

It is advisable to store user entries in a separate table to maintain a record of all tips submitted. To reset the entries for the next tip submission, you can simply truncate the table or delete all entries after processing the current tip. 

// Store user entries in a separate table
// Reset entries for the next tip submission

// Connect to the database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Process current tip submission

// Reset user entries for the next tip submission
$sql = "TRUNCATE TABLE user_entries";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "User entries reset for the next tip submission";
} else {
    echo "Error resetting user entries: " . $conn->error;
}

// Close the connection
$conn->close();
