Re: Fwd: [PHP] Storing indefinite arrays in database

2011-05-11 Thread Benedikt Voigt 

Bastien,
thanks for the answer.
But as I understand the problem and your suggestion, this won’t work, or you 
have to explain it to me with this example.
For example, let’s reduce the function to two input fields and the following 
functioning:
InputField1=A InputField2=B OutputField=X
InputField1=A InputField2=C OutputField=Y
How can you store this in the form you suggested in a relational database?
Or would a non-relational database (e.g. an OO-database) make more sense?
Thanks,
Ben

 Hi,
 I'am very new to PHP, so please any comment is welcome.

 I want to write a function in PHP, which takes X arguments and outputs a
 value.
 The functioning of this function should be stored in a db (mydb? or better
 alternatives?)
 The function would look up the result in the db based on the X arguments.

 But how can I store X arguments and the corresponding output value?
 If I limit the X arguments to a specific number like N=10, then I could
 create N=10 +1 columns in a table.
 But how should I do it if I don't want to limit myself to a fix number?

 Thanks for any comment!
 Ben

My bad, copied only the OP not the list.


Create the DB to run in a vertical format

consider the horizontal style

record_id       field1   field2   field3   fieldN


which is great for fixed designs


The vertical format would be

record_id     attribute      argument
