Can anyone explain me how ENUM working in mysql, and how to wirk with it. I need it for private messages.
Or does anyone know an tutorial with p.m. system with he/she learn from it. I searched on youtube, but nothing heled me.

An ENUM is a string object with a value chosen from a list of permitted values that are enumerated explicitly in the column specification at table creation time.

I'm pretty sure all the info you need will be here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/enum.html

Thank you very much.
