What Is The Best Way To Store A Date In MySQL DB?
I have a table (contacts) with a list of people I know. It holds info like email address and birthdays. Right now, I have the birthday saved across three fields- day, month, and year. The day and month fields hold values like '02' and the year field holds a four-digit number, like '2007'. I know MySQL has a 'DATE' field type, and I would feel that is probably the best way to store the information I have. My question is this: I have some PHP code that checks to see if any of my contacts has a birthday today (as seen below) $today = date("d/m"); $query = "SELECT * FROM `contacts` WHERE CONCAT(DAY,'/',MONTH) = '".$today."'"; How could I do this if I stored the date in a single, YYYYMMDD field?

Store Images In MySQL
I've looked around a bit before posting this, and overall I've discovered the means to store an image in a table via blobs, and take it back out and use it with PHP. I've discovered many users giving detailed descriptions as to why this is not a good idea, and overall I agree, BUT! I've been having the PHP problem where if I upload a file and store it onto my server with a form, the permissions are set such that nobody can delete those files aside from the superuser. I suppose this is more a PHP question, in that I am asking how I should store a file such that I can have access to delete this file later, or if I should just try to store the file in SQL?

How Do I Store Variables In A MySQL Table?
I want to create a table that has a newsletter that will get emailed out to clients. In the table, I want a field for the Subject, and one for the Body. In the Subject line, I need to include a personalization variable, such as "$firstname". In the Body content, I need to store several personalization variables. How do I store the variable name when I insert the newsletters into the table? For example, the Subject line may be: "$firstname, Here is the info I want to send you". In the body, I may have something like: "Presented to: $name" "From: $my_name" "$company_name" "$company_phone" etc... When I load the newsletter, I just want to store the variable names, not any content. When I open the table to load the newsletter, I need to then substitute the variable names with the true names and other content.

Is It Good To Store Html-formatted Data In Mysql Tables?
I always thought it is best to keep as much html as you can out of your stored data, in order to have flexible data. I am working now on a user friendly news-editor where the user can add news and format the text as wished (put links, bold/underline/italic etc..). I am however a bit struggling with how I should proceed with this data. Do I just store it in the appropriate Mysql table and let it come out on the appropriate front-end news page? And not bother about the html in it? What if a user messes with the html? Should I strip all tags before storing it in the database and add them again while retrieving it on the news-page? If so, I know how to convert a few things, but not everything (like links, bold/underline..). Or are there other solutions? Thanks!

Does Mysql Store Max Size For Data Type Each Time, Or Only What Is Needed For Specific Data?
If I use MEDIUMTEXT, which (if I understand correctly) has a max size of 65k, does mysql use the entire size each time data is written to that column? I have a text field on my site that users fill in, but more often that not, they don't. However, when they do, it can be 1000 bytes or more. Am I wasting space using MEDIUMTEXT or does mysql only set aside 1000 bytes for that column if the data is only 1000 bytes?
Store Friend Matrix In MySQL (was "Need Help In MySQL")
I am making an website for dating online. Each members can have a list of friends. If I have n members in my website, each member can have max of n friends so we have a nxn matrix (dimensions of the matrix are certainly variable. They are changed as time goes). Right? And my problem is how to store the matrix in MySQL (I need a DB structure to store it, it can be changed later so it must be easy to modify: edit, add, remove items/cells). Who has a good solution for this problem?
Log-error File 'not Found' But This Same File Being Written To?!
I recently put up a message board and I get around 150+ hits a day so far. I've recently had some people sign up with my board but unfortunately, no one seems to be posting (they're just lurking around). I'm currently doing some promotions in the hope that others will post (like giving away a Lord of the Rings poster to all users who has 20 posts or more). Of course, my board has only been up for less than a month (3 weeks to be exact) so I know I need to be patient but I would appreciate any advice you can give me on how to turn lurkers into posters.
Store PDF In DB?
I am writing a web application that is actually an application for a school, causes some word confusion... Anyway, applicants need to be able to upload PDF statements and letters of recommendation and such. The applicant can re-upload the file multiple times with corrections, but only the most recent version will be kept. When the application is finished the PDF will be accessed a few dozen times by various reviewers. For easy backup/maintenance/organization it would make my life much simpler to store the PDFs directly in the database, however I gather that there may be problems with this. The only stats I can find seem to worry about scaling with dynamic content being loaded for thousands of visitors, however I don't need to worry about that as only a few dozen folks will want to view any given file, over several weeks. Aside from scaling is there any other reason to avoid storing the PDFs in a BLOB? Will the performance hit be that significant?
How To Store
An user fills a form. My script generates a reference, call it REF. There's also another value which is the same for each REF, call it REF2. The script also generates a date value, which should be stored for each form filled and may have different values for the same REF, call it DATE. Then there's three more values which are come from what's filled in the form, so values may vary for the same REF, call them VAR1, VAR2 and VAR3. When I search the database, I will look for REF. To sum up, each REF2 is always the same for one given REF; and DATE, VAR1, VAR2 and VAR3 need to be findable when I have the REF value. By the way, all of these are VARCHARs (but for DATE which is a, well, DATE).
The Best Way To Store Sub Categories
I am setting up a system where users can select a main department and then a sub-category of that department.

Is the best solution to put the sub-categories into another table with a department id column to reference the main department. ========================== id | sub-category | departmentID | ==========================
Best Way To Store This Data
I'm doing a bit of a site where users can upload replays of games. The table (called 'replays') will have fields like id, name, date_uploaded .... which take up about 10 feilds. But there also has to be a way to store data on each player. There can be up to 8 players in a game and the database must somehow record: a) the name for each player b) a rating for each player c) and a second rating for each player. Any tips on how to do this? I cant imagine having a database with 40+ feilds called player1rating1, player1rating2, player2rating1

Store DB For Each Domain
if there is a way to set up MySQL server to keep DB's for one user in it's home folder? I wonder how those virtual (shared) hosting companies set it up? What I mean is say if I have two users (domains) on the server they will have all their files in their home folders. /home/domain1.com/ /home/domain2.com/ I ask this because I find it neat to have all the files for one domain in one place - mostly for backup.
