Oh, in the one case where I use bitflags, it's stored in a database, but this way I can have some administer scripts that add values when necessary and I don't have to alter the table structure. Mulitple tables is definitely more powerful, but if you've got a simple permission setup, it can be more maintenance and overhead than it's worth. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
