Carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of
windandwaves of comp.lang.php make plain:

> I have to store up to eight boolean bits of information about an item

>
> There are three ways of storing this information in my mysql database
> A. add eight fields (tiny integer)
> B. add one tiny integer and create a function in PHP that can translate

I'd go with B, just my personal preference.
