grungefreak Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi, I want to try develop a dynamic,adaptive web app i.e.the system records user actions and adapts the system to suit, e.g. a person may have the choice to view a tutorial displayed in text or images, if the user chooses images, the rest of the web app uses images and so on. A bit more complex than that but you get the gist. What I would like to know is this, would it be better to use xml or databases to store info i.e. build a user model or profile. Because this is an ajax forum, I would like to hear your opinions or even some guidance on where to best start and to make the right decisions at the beginning. Thank you GF Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/170138-adaptive-web-app/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Sounds like a user_behavior_preferences table to me with a bunch of columns in it and one row per user. I don't see why you'd use XML; databases are almost always better for persistent storage.
