I am trying to make it easy for me to update my database so I would like to know if I can use arrays. Basically I will have 12 columns to update, each column a different item, each item a different level. if any of these levels are higher than that of the person updating then I do not want it passed. So eg if Jim is level 5 and has 3 items at level 3 and 2 at 6 he can only equip 3 items. anyone know? thanks Turk
Probably will want to use a many to many relationship for your database schema. If you want to do it in PHP arrays, I would recommend storing things in the database with the serialize() functions.
