in all honesty.. loads of screwups - don't try it out on your database &
ultimately if it isn't re-usable then it isn't useful (and it's isn't
re-usable unless every single table you have is the same.. which they
aren't)
to be a bit more constructive though.. this is a road most developers
have been down, and well known solutions already exist.
You've got two choices..
1] continue down this route and learn as you go (but for god sake get a
test database) - recommended if you really want to learn not just PHP
but programming in general; once you understand it all you can go
looking at design patterns, common solutions and how other people do it
and have enough knowledge to make informed decisions.
2] just use what's made and don't think too much about it, you'll be
productive and can throw in support/help requests whenever it goes
wrong, works for some people.. to do this get a decent framework and
read it's manual (or use pdo, or an ORM for PHP or something)
all depends on what you want, how much time you have, and where you want
to end up.
