This only works if you specify a database name in the call to
mysqli_connect(). If provided (it is optional) it identifies the default
database name for all subsequent
ery which contains
table names which do not have to be qualified with their database/schema
names. If you wish to refer to a table which is not in the current
database/schema then you must include the database/schema name.
I consider the use of the term "schema", as used by Post

se of a Data Dictionary. After building a
database table I import the structure into my data dictionary, then export
it to create a database table class and a table structure file. Still using
the data dictionary I can then build the family of transactions to maintain
that database table. This uses a standard set of page controllers and XSL
templates to build the HTML. So within 5 minutes I can run the transactions
to list, search, add, enquire, delete and update that database table without
having to write a single line of SQL or HTML. In most cases I don't even
have to write a single line of PHP. Is your method as fast as that?
All this functionality exists within the Radicore framework, so you can

Saying that someone's ideas are absolute rubbish is not an insult. Cal
ntly moved to PHP, but cannot get used to the fact that it *IS* a
different language, therefore it has different syntax and achieves similar
things in different ways. If your feeble brain can't handle the differences
then I suggest you stick with your previous language and LEAVE PHP ALONE!
Your proposed solution is far too inflexible. Take a look at
http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/auditlog.html which describes a design
with incorporates a fixed set of audit tables which can deal with logging
changes to any number of application tables with any structure.

#x27;s why solutions which are thrown together are often incapable of being
expanded to include new requirements. If you create a "throw away" solution
then never try to expand it, simply throw it away and start again.
