[PHP-DB] Best way to have virtual objects do something? From: Leif K-Brooks (eurleif <email protected>)

First of all, I'm sorry if the php general list would be a better place
to do this. Anyway, I am making a game website with a friend. Among
other things, it will have virtual objects that can be used to do
things. My database structure idea is something like:
item_actions(id int,displaycode text,code text)
item_types(id int,actions text,name text)
items(id int,type int,owner int)

The action display code will control how the action text is displayed,
it's code will be run when it gets used. The actions field in item_types
will have the ids of what this type of item can do. The thing is, I
want to be able to pass values to the actions so that I won't need to
add a new action for every small difference. I have considered using
funcctions for each action, but I want to store them in the database so
artists can add items without knowing php. Any ideas? Thanks.
