Close sibling to create_table() - will create a temporary table. Two aspects of its usage are interesting - you _must_ truncate the table after creation as you may be "inheriting" an existing temp table from the former user of your persistent connection - you must use the tablename returned to support MSSQL and any other DB that needs special names for temp tables A couple of TODOs - I just don't know how to actually munge the tablename for MSSQL (help! Eloooooyyyy!) - Surely Eloy will have something better than the preg_replace() ;-)
README $Id$ ------ QUICK INSTALL ============= For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create a single database for Moodle to store all it's tables in (or choose an existing database). 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser, you should be taken to the install.php script, which will lead you through creating a config.php file and then setting up Moodle, creating an admin account etc. 4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so. For more information, see the INSTALL DOCUMENTATION: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle A local copy can also be found in lang/en_utf8/help/install.html (or your language) Good luck and have fun!
