can I create a table inwhich each cell has multiple column using php/mysql

Question

I want to create a table with two columns - name and courses. So, let's say for the first row, I want to insert John into the name column, and insert maths, English, chemistry into the courses column(the same row as name-John). Is this possible with php/mysql.

Answer 1

You can save 3 rows with name set to John for each of Maths, Chemistry and English.

Just add another column asy ' name_id ' which is same for the three rows.

That way, if you want to see this particular John's subjects, you can fetch his subjects SELECT courses FROM student_db WHERE name_id="xx"

That would be a easier way.

If you want a single row for John then

INSERT INTO student_db (name,courses) VALUES ('John','Maths,Chemistry,English')

should work.
