HI. Just went through the documentation and didn't quite understand how to make the assigned user group persist through the entire experiment. Does the PHP library stores the user group to a storage of some sort?

Hi Eugene, we use deterministic hashing to assign variations. That means, as long as the user_id and experiment key are the same, the user will always be assigned the same variation. No persistence or storage needed.

Great, thanks!
Which means the user can't be assigned to both groups of the same experiment?
