Hi Brian, thats fine. You can always convert between the different table formats. As long as you know some rules there will be no data loss.
As mentioned at the present only innodb support foreign keys. That means that converting a innodb table f.e to another table format should either give you an error message or silently ignore the foreign keys. Anyway I suggest not experiencing not on the real data tables ( WOW - I guess you didnt new that ;-) - just wanted to make sure it's in the record ;-). You will have to setup all foreign keys by yourself, mysql will not do that for you automatically. I am unable at present to give any advice on the PHP side.
