Another Brain Teaser

Just though you all might enjoy this thiis code challange to test yourselves.

you have a website and you want to track which pages you have "certified final build" basicly the pages your sure you error checked and debugged

You have a SQL or Flat files (your choice) DB but dont want to clutter it with a million fields or tables for the many pages you may have.

You decide the best way would be to create a directroy file list and next to it have a form check box

when you load the page any check boxes you check would remain checked on future visit

the most obvious way woud be to creeat a loop with each file displayto add a check box but how will beable to set it to select the righr check boxes ifyou add or remove pages without creating a huge DB for each individual page.

________________________________________

How i woud do it to get this fun started.
the names of the boxes would be generated dynamicly, maybe some heavity truncated/crushed version of the file path, if checked its value would be 1

in a singe table of my DB id store a contatonated list if the check box and value to the effect of

Clasi-1.Resu-0.inde-1...

then when beining the list on the page idd pull this long text fro the DB

Explode it on the '.'

then explote it on the '-'
if check box=exploded[0] then its vaule is = exploded[1]

I shoud point out you dont need to make any real code here, this is a way to strech your brain, this is theory, the idea is to try and fiure out a complex logic problem here.

this is not a code request, or i would have posted it there, this is a experiment in code theory
