(03:54:52 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com entered the room.
(03:55:03 AM) xmldude485: explain
(03:55:29 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: tim, tell us how to tag files lol
(03:55:40 AM) timn1991: yes
(03:55:46 AM) timn1991: ok
(03:55:53 AM) timn1991: i would create a mysql table
(03:56:04 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: what about using ini?
(03:56:18 AM) timn1991: ini's are lame
(03:56:34 AM) timn1991: if you don't have a mysql db, you could use a sqlite db
(03:56:40 AM) timn1991: sqlite is filebased
(03:57:01 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: no i can use mysql db
(03:57:11 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: just that me and xml wanted to use ini
(03:57:23 AM) timn1991: okay
(03:57:34 AM) timn1991: that's difficult
(03:57:52 AM) timn1991: ah I know
(03:57:52 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: but do you have any idea how to start it?
(03:58:05 AM) timn1991: here's a sample:
(03:59:05 AM) timn1991: [General]
tags=tag1|tag2|tag3
[a.txt]
tags=0|2
[b.txt]
tags=1|2
(03:59:12 AM) timn1991: that's a good method
(03:59:14 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: no we got that part..
(03:59:23 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: xml.. what do we have to do?
(04:00:01 AM) timn1991: I thought you wanted to do it with INIs?
(04:00:06 AM) xmldude485: we do
(04:00:09 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: we got that far
(04:00:18 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: "(6:35:24 PM) xmldude485: first we need to make the actual tag pages. without them, tags are useless."
(04:00:19 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: :P
(04:00:26 AM) xmldude485: lol
(04:00:50 AM) xmldude485: we need some way to display al the filenames of the software that's tagged with that tag
(04:01:07 AM) timn1991: okay
(04:01:21 AM) timn1991: why don't you use a db
(04:01:32 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: cuz that would make the inis obsolete
(04:01:38 AM) timn1991: using xml or ini's for such things is not a good dicision
(04:01:49 AM) timn1991: you can use a sqlite db
(04:02:03 AM) xmldude485: Ok.
(04:02:11 AM) xmldude485: So how would we do that?
(04:02:22 AM) timn1991: do you use php4 or php5?
(04:02:26 AM) xxsashixx@gmail.com: 5
