Hi everyone,
I'm wondering about a potential problem I might get. My problem is lets say I have 2 tables one called speakers and clients. In the client table the client has the speaker ID's of 1,5,8(SAVED in a STRING field) - so I'm using explode() to get the values.
So now I have to call the speaker table 3 times to get the values of each speaker. This introduces the problem that it will get very expensive if there is alot of users online wouldn't it?
Is there an alternative to calling a table from an array of items or something?
I'm not too clued up about all the php approaches to this so any help will be appreciated!
I'm using mysql for the db.
