BetterPHP

I am working on a Minecraft website project. I have a table in the database with the in game data value for blocks(only ones that cannot be crafted). I want to have a separate table for those which can be crafted in to things like Pistons. How would I be able to do a query where it will return all craft recipes that have cobblestone as an example? I was thinking of an array but unsure how it would work

Thanks

How is the table layed out?

if all materials needed are in a single field then use like and the wildcard

SELECT * FROM recepies WHERE materials LIKE "%cobblestone%"

if each material has its own field then you could do something like

SELECT * FROM recepies WHERE material_1 = "cobblestone" OR material_2 = "cobblestone" etc....

Thats how i would query it, but no doubt there is a better way lol.

Thanks, but what happens if someone queries stone and it returns cobblestone. I'm sure there will be a way to do it more specific

Can you post your table structure ?
