articles now powered by mysql
Posted: Sun Nov 09, 2003 8:18 pm
To display the articles it used to be a file per category that stored the hits, the title, the subtitle, the description and the link to the forum. I just changed it so it's all neatly organized in a mysql database that way I don't have to worry about overwritting the hits with an older file.
Something I regret not doing from the start is including the date of publication of articles as to keep them in order it now uses a unix time stamp, but I still can take advantage of that to display the date since most of the dates will be completly wrong.
But anyway I reprogrammed the articles.php to use mysql so it should be better now. If anyone spots any problems in any articles please let me know!
