Creating a tagging system search database?

Recommended Posts

Sites with a 'tagged' feature which you can add tags to your blog item, bookmark item, news item, etc, how are these tags stored in the database?


Say, if I have a profile page and I want to tags my

Would the form be like this?

[code]
Tags, seperated by comma <input type="text" name="tags" />
[/code]

Then in my PHP code for storing the tags in the database for searching, are the tags stored all in one field or seperate rows for each tag?

How would the query work to search for certain items (news, blogs, etc) based on tag(s)?
