bigtimslim Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I've made a site with a search feature that gathers and processes information from several feeds. The data from a search ends up being 6 columns by often hundreds of rows. This data only really needs to be stored for the session. I currently have it being stored in a multidimensional array. I will need to pass the array through different pages through sessions. My question is, would it be better to somehow use a temporary mysql table for this information?

deadonarrival Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 You could always try sqlite... you can make a temporary table in memory and it's less unwieldy than a huge array. If you have memory problems, a mysql database could work, but the problem is that you'd need a seperate table for each online user, and it would probably slow down appreciably. I'd go with the sqlite route. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/107024-array-or-database-table/#findComment-549463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
