Re: [PHP-WIN] PHP and databases? ...without MySQL and such

[Luis Ferro]

As for databases based on flat files... i would recoment then the use and abuse of php array system... which has a basic "find" and is very flexible...

It isn't perfect, but it will work and it won't be an heavy penalty... (it will be just a penalty... but will be usable...).

I've done once a flat file database for mantaining a user and group permission and login system... in ASP... for crying out loud! But... it worked much better then the existing MS Access database (which worked nice with all those sql queries... but crashed when two useres requested the connection at the same time [odbc bugs related with MS Access odbc drivers], leading to an iisreset)...

The flat file is still working... having been transformed to a C++ component with cryptography and now works even better...

Cheers...

P.S.- scripting languages can be a pain... but to do prototyping they are sometimes handy... and PHP excels in many aspects and more...
