Bastien, thanks for the answer. But as I understand the problem and your suggestion, this wonât work, or you have to explain it to me with this example. For example, letâs reduce the function to two input fields and the following functioning: InputField1=A InputField2=B OutputField=X InputField1=A InputField2=C OutputField=Y How can you store this in the form you suggested in a relational database? Or would a non-relational database (e.g. an OO-database) make more sense?

Create the DB to run in a vertical format consider the horizontal style record_id    field1  field2  field3  fieldN which is great for fixed designs The vertical format would be record_id   attribute   Âargument -- Bastien Cat, the other other white meat -- Bastien Cat, the other other white meat -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ___________________________________________________________ Schon gehÃrt?
