Hi,

I'm building an online project manager. Within my database, I have a table
named projects which stores data about various projects. For each project, I
require an overview, which could be as short as a single sentence, or as
long as multiple paragraphs, so what is the best way of storing a project
overview?

I was thinking that the table could store a file name, and then PHP could
open that file, but that seems like a work-around, rather than a solution.
There must be a better way, but what is it?

Keep in mind that I am new to both PHP and mySQL, but I do have extensive
experience with other languages. I expect that there might be a data type
explicitly for loading text files, but I just don't know. Any comments or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Tony.
