I have a poll that has five 1-5 star ratings and I need to store the values individually for each user. Is there a method similar to bitfields where I can store these enumerated values (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 for each rating) and easily extract them?
At the moment my best bet would be to store a serialized PHP array, however that would take up a bit of space. Or, create 5 columns, which I would also prefer not to do (wasted space).
My first thought about this is using and storing the values like this:
The user didn’t answer the last question. $a[0] is the value of the first vote which is: 1.
Maybe not the fastest but simple.
