Save mysql value locally if internet connection lost

Question

I am designing a system that collects a customer's signature once a job has been completed by an engineer at the customer's premises. Everything is working great, it is a PHP and MySQL based system and the signature is entered using a touch screen and the image is converted to JSON and saved in the database as a string.

However, there may be times when the internet connection is lost or unavailable but the signature still needs to be collected and I was wondering if there was a method that anyone knows of that can save a PHP value locally ready to be uploaded once an internet connect is re established? Perhaps using cookies?

don't write a full question. just search with some keywords and get a look around: http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=browser+offline+storage — hakre, Jun 25 '13 at 12:01

Take a look here:

How do I create and read a value from cookie?

With cookies you can do that. But you still need to figure out how you'll check if the internet conection has gone.

You can save the data in local storage. Check chapter from dive into html5 about offline apps.
