If you're going to be keeping track of all these demographics, you'll want to store these in a database rather than a text file.

This sounds simple, but I have to take in consideration that my Country has LOTS of places to fish and every time of year it's different as trout are never in the same place, so equipments to be used are different depending the time of year (grouped in two weeks), etc. A solution will be to start writing several miles of text into text files or databases so PHP can fire these up and seek for a solution depending on what the visitor has chosen, but this is an extremely log solution, specially having in mind that this site will be in two languages. What would be the best solution for this? I even want to let visitors select the equipment (what they own), the place and the time of year and get the kind of trout they will be fishing, or maybe even more ways around... is this possible? has anyone made something so "intelligent" in PHP before? I use PHP 4+ and MySQL 3.4 Thanks in advance, ----------------------- Cesar Aracena [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.icaam.com.ar Cel: +54.299.635-6688 Tel/Fax: +54.299.477-4532 Cipolletti, Rio Negro R8324BEG Argentina --------------------------- Soluciones profesionales en Internet y Comunicaciones http://www.icaam.com.ar -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
