I can't see your link but nevertheless, how I would do it is store the user_id, the product and their rating in a table.

Yes, it's true that if every user gave a rating to every product your table will be (Total User x Total Products) huge compared to just (1 x Total Products).

Protip: use REPLACE INTO for this table as a query. If there's no rating with this user/product it will create it, if there is it will update it.

Peace,
