I was thinking about using $productid = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
To generate product id's in my PHP/MySql database (primary & indexed in mysql) to make the product number a little more different then 1,2,3,4. Of course these product ID will need to be used in many SQL joins is there a noticable difference between using BIGINT Vs. varchar(32) in doing all of those joins? Or because of the index it's not really a big difference (or no difference at all?) Don Myers -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
