undertaker Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Example: I want to build a webpage where registered user can upload his images. - All uploaded images (from all users) show up on frontpage. Ascending by newest first. - If user opens his control panel, he can preview all his uploaded images, image likes (stats), etc. My question is how to form databases and tables for best performance, when calling the data to show up. For example: Table with users: username | password | money mike 123456 20 jack mypass4 0 henry gg56 500 Table with images: username | image | likes mike jack.jpg 20 jack 5265.jpg 40 jack 56589.jpg 40 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/236298-tables-databases-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberRobot Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 You should look into adding a unique ID column to your users table. Then instead of linking the two tables by the username, you would link them with the ID. This way if the username changes, you won't need to update multiple tables. Also, if you want to display the users in ascending order you might want to add a datetime column to your users database. I would also recommend that you look into encrypting or hashing the passwords.
