IDX Question

[DustyCarr]

Ok first off I'm new to this and I have an IDX feed in the form of tab delimited text file. I have the file being parsed into my database. The file has a field with "special features" codes that are comma delimited. example : j05 is the code for carpet flooring, j39 is the code for hardwood, etc... how should this "special features" data be handled? Should it go into my database like this? Any ideas are appreciated!

I am assuming you were provided with some kind of lookup table - just build your table structure any way you want / will work for your app and then have your parser handle the translation / population of the data based on your tables.

Hi Dusty,

You have 2 options :

1. Create an additional row in the table and create a small .php parser that goes over the codes and writes the oppropriate text in another row.

or

2. Create an array as a look up table in the code that displays the properties.

How exactly are you displaying the data ?
