Using MySQL for all content

[scrubbicus]

I'm trying to create a completely dynamic website and so I can create a search ability so I'm guessing putting all the content in MySQL will make it easier for me to be able to create a search function.

 

Anyway since all my content is in MySQL I'm trying to call classes in PHP within the MySQL area... and it's not working so I'm guessing MySQL doesn't support this?

As far as I know, it doesn't.

But what you can do and it will work a similar way is to use php function serialize and store serialized object to mySql.

When reading from mySql use unserialize.

But. Best practice would be to use mySql as little as possible. You could store serialized objects into file system but should consider some security here.

The following question is directed to both of you:

 

What???

 

 

scrubbicus: Explain what you mean by 'to call classes in PHP within the MySQL area'

 

gregor171: I have no idea what are you talking about? Why serializing? Why storing in plain file?

Mchl, I believe scrubbicus wants everything dynamic as to store every bit of data in the DB, including PHP codes? (I think that's right). gregor171 suggested serializing class objects and storing them in DB and or flat file. Why the heck would someone serialize objects like that? ... I am not making sense.

 

Don't mind me. Please forgive me.

Why wouldn't the content be in mysql anyway?
