Need help. by skippy-ish_guy 2005-03-22 17:46:37
Okay, I wasn't supposed to even give anyone vague details about this, but I need help.

I need a way of storing 300-1000 objects that can be called upon randomly and individually on a web page (i.e. user clicks a button, it brings up a random object). An array would be too impractical at that size, especially when I'm supposed to be switching them up at given intervals.

What can I do to minimize the load of the project, given I only have three months to finish it, and my limited programming skills?
