I am developing an web-based recipe application and am looking at starting with phprecipebook (phprecipebook.sourceforge.net)
However, I am concerned over what seems to be a major scalability issue. The application design for adding ingredients to a recipe is to use drop down list for each ingredient, which is auto-filled from the ingredients table.
Currently, there is only a relatively small number of ingredients in the demo (<200) and the page loads OK. But I am wondering what would happen if there were tens of thousands of ingredients, which is realistic.
Anyone have any insight into this area?
Thanks,
Jeff
drop down list... scalability & performance?
