Expanding on database fields

I think what you're asking is how to store a wide variety of domain info in one field. if that's not true, please clarify.

I suggest using serialize and unserialize to store a variety of info. You put the info into an array, serialize it, and then store it in the database. When you pull it out of the database, you unserialize it and you have your array back.

for example:

$domain_info['domain_name'] = 'whatever.com';
$domain_info['registrar'] = 'network solutions';
$domain_info['username'] = 'user';
$domain_info['password'] = 'pass';
$domain_info['expiration'] = '9/25/04';
## add whatever else you want

$domain_info_serialized = addslashes(serialize($domain_info));
## routine to store $domain_info_serialized in domain field goes here

Then when you want the info back, after you retrieve it from the database, just use something like:

$domain_info = stripslashes(unserialize($data_from_db));
echo "domain: ".$domain_info['domain_name']."<br>";
echo "registrar: ".$domain_info['registrar']."<br>";
echo "username: ".$domain_info['username']."<br>";
echo "password: ".$domain_info['password']."<br>";
## etc.

hope that helps
