Hi there. Beforehand let me thank you all !! Really guys you help a lot. When I will finish my web site and will have much time on watching how userbase is growing I will come here again and again to answer to another people questions(if I can )
So here is the problem.
I made a web-site on CodeIgniter. A social network engine. Something like phpfox, classmates_com or facebook.
It's right now somehow not multilingual, So the UI strings are in the view files, and next step will be move them to the language files.
I want the user to have ability to change the language. So I assume that in database user will have row "lang_local" which would be by default set to en, and then to any other language he will change .
So what is eating my nervs and enery is following.
I will make on this engine several demographic social networks,and I would like to manage theese web-sites in centralized manner with one backend . So whenever I would like to make a new web-network, I just add the domain settings install the script in new folder and add it in database sites
I see it like this
on every table in database like users,comments,messages,categories ,etc I will have a row site_id , and on each query add/update/delete I add a WHERE SITE_ID=XXX
and in table sites(site_id,site_name,domain_name) will have all domains , so that in backend I can filter data by website.
Is this a good way? What if i will need then to be multiserver, what about load balancing? Who can tell me what would be a right,PROFESSIONAL way? My maximum user limit for a database is something like for start 10.000 in one-two year 100.000users
