[PHP] php to store data

2011-05-02 Thread sir wally lewis

I am a complete novice at php.
My internet service provider gives me webspace and PHP script execution 
for free.


I would like a simple example of a website that stores data on the 
server, in simple text files.


Is this possible?

Kind Regards,

Robert

I did not get access to any database system on the ISP's end.
I could get access to MySQL for $$$.
Initially I just want to test everything works with storing to simple text 
files.
After that has happenned.
And if the requirement grows.
Then spending $$$ is feasable.

As I said I am just a novice.
So I want to get something small going.

Kind Regards,

Robert.

 If you're storing data, try to use a database, as you can do a lot more
 with a DB than you can with flat text files on the server, and it's much
 faster.

 However, if you're stuck with text files, then look at things like
 fopen, fwrite and file_get_contents functions, as these should help a
 lot.
