When I call upon a tutor, I want to see all the courses they teach. In my old days, I would just set up a linked list of courses and attach it to the tutor (another linked list). As a tutor adds courses, I would just add the course to the end of the linked list. If the tutor deletes a course, then I would remove it from the list by changing a single pointer. If I needed a list of all the courses the tutor taught, I would just run down the linked list pulling them out as needed. But now I have to think in terms of records in a database. I'll eventually figure it out, but what are your suggestions/solutions? I understand that I can have one record set up for each tutor, and another record set up for each course, and then tie the two together by another record like an assignment. That way I can have as many assignments as I want tying courses to tutors. It that the way you guys would do it? Thanks, tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com Hi, tedd! Though you might think that this is a stupid task I can recommend you to draw a little entity-relationship model. It quite helps you to overlook the structure of the database that you want to design. It has got different relations between the data and defines a way to represent those in the database. If you are interested in this you can look in wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity-relationship_model Since I heard from these models the first time I always use them and I had no more database changes after I started coding since then. Greetings Hey Tedd, Your idea is correct. The keyword you're looking for is 'atomary data', where you have just 1 occurrence of a particular type of information in your entire database. In your case, this translates to: - A single table for tutors (`tutors`) - A single table for courses (`courses`) - A table that combines these two (`tutors_courses`) Basically, what you're doing here is what you did in 'the old days': you're creating a linked list, but on the database level (and more efficient probably; certainly easier to manage). DB queries will cause you some headaches at first, if you're not used to this. You'll be using JOIN instructions to pull data out of the db. I use InnoDB for this type of stuff (it validates the link). Sample query: SELECT `tutors`.`name` AS `tutor_name`, `courses`.`course` AS `course` FROM `tutors_courses` AS `tc` LEFT JOIN `tutors` AS `t` ON `t`.`id` = `tc`.`tutor` LEFT JOIN `courses` AS `c` ON `c`.`id` = `tc`.`course` WHERE whatever you're filter is HTH, Stijn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I haven't tried php namespaces yet, but have implemented them for my own
projects, to
1) avoid the ever enduring hassle of setting directory paths for every
host where the project lives in one form or another (dev, test, production).
2) calling classes according to their logical structure, in stead of
figuring out in what freaking folder I put the class.
namespaceMyProjectName('db.mysql.MySqlHandler');
Nice and easy, although at a performance cost atm. I'm looking forward
to seeing how PHP handles it.

Re: [PHP] Session cookie doesn't work
Hey Teck, If the session works when you append the session id to the URL, I would think that the session_save_path is ok and writable. You can assure yourself that it is indeed the case, by going to your session.save_path and checking out the contents of the session files there. Better practice might be to create a directory under /tmp, chmod it to 700 and use that as the session.save_path. In general, it will be the user running apache that writes to all the paths, so at least that user (probably apache:apache) needs read, write and execute permissions for the directory. I don't know anything about the cookie_path, and can't find a decent explanation as to what it does at the moment. I would say your browser rejects cookies, or is at least setup to reject cookies from your domain (localhost, I assume). Could you check that out ? Greetz, Stijn Teck wrote: Thanks Stijn for your advice. I wonder if my session.save_path /var/lib/php4 is correct. Who should be the owner of the directory? Is there any permission settings I need to care about? I also consider session.cookie_path /. After searching, it means cookies are avaiable for all the directories under, let's say, http://www.example.com/ . So if I work only at http://example.com/myspace , would it be better to change the path? What permissions are required to the path? Sessions work when I use URL as paramers such as http://www.example.com?SESSID=3u498q7rtq34897 .
