As for a format, one year we had a scouting program that stored everything in text files in the form:
<match#> <team#> <property name> <value>
So you'd get lines that said something like:
|
So, with this data storage, are you using text-based database? If so:
match/team#/climb code (0=no,1=10,2=20,3=30)
That would be a lot more readable to PHP and easier to implement. However, it would be important to note that text-based isn't so reliable. If this software is running for multiple teams, every time a match ends, the server will get a huge load. Multiple appends to the same file at the same time, many times, means a corrupt file. Instead, MySQL or some other database server built to store information may be the lifesaver!
The only time I used text databases is when I was learning PHP and using it on a site that maxes out at a view per day!
