NYCPHP Meetup

[Brian O'Connor]

The way I always handled occurance was to have two fields in the database, a
key (usually an integer), and a value, which I stored as a string.

I then had a function which took an event and a day in, and checked the
events occurance key / value to see if it applied for that day, and returned
either true or false.

I doubt this is the most efficient way, but it works for me.
