|  Database
Yes. Every file on our site is what I think of as FTP, it's the images, the covers, the actual HTM and PHP pages, and the downloadable programs. However, we also have a database on the server. This cannot be accessed by FTP, or seen as a file. It can be only accessed from code - like what you are looking at now. All posts are in the database, also all game/demo/member/group details pages are built on the fly on the server side using data from the database. This is what I have to "back up" separately. I have a little script that sucks out all the data, which I rebuild into an MS Access file on my end.
Sorry if I misused some terms - I didn't learn any of this stuff, it's just what I figured out by myself. So what do you think? These would be our jobs: Lando: games & magic, You: emus & programming, Me: database & page programming. All of us: News  |
