Hello everyone.

 

I want to create a system where people can post things. Like on this forum.

But i am wondering. Should i save long text messages as one big and long string. Or should i use a different method? If you suggest a different method a link to a tutorial would be a big help n.n

 

Thanks in advance kind mis or mister

The most common approach is to use an SQL TEXT type field for posts. It can hold 65,536 characters which is usually more than enough.

Forums are complex systems, they have many different parts to them: Users, forums, topics, posts and often a lot of other features. If you just want a forum it's best to use software that's already been built.

If what you want is not a forum, then you first need to make a clear and complete specification of what you want and all the features it should contain. Projects don't begin with writing code, they begin with formally expressing what you actually want.
