What does a database structure of topic id's look like?
<p>I am creating a forum for practice but I am stuck on how to do the topics. Do I need a seperate topic table, and If yes why, cant I just check them in the posts table?</p>

<p>Also, do I record the topic id or the topic name, and if it is the Id, how do I switch them?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot, I am working in PHP</p>
