[FX.php List] Adding to a field

[DC]

yes. the real solution is to make your log field (which you now append 
to in a single field) into a separate "table" in your database so that 
to "append" some data you just create a new record. don't bother 
fetching the existing data. you don't even need to make a relationship 
if your need for logging data is simple enough.

your log table would probably just have a timestamp field, and data field.
