I'm sorry, I meant to be more clear -- although include files are great for storing data that will probably not change (but are now in a convenient include file in case they have to change), I was thinking of making this data updateable from within the application. So that my employer, who does not know a thing about PHP or MySQL, can change this information from the "administration" section of the site. Which is why I was thinking of using the database... ... well, I may just keep it in an include file, and if anyone ever needs to change the data, I'll explain in the documentation where the data should be changed.
