[PHP] When to use a text file rather then a database

2003-04-05 Thread Charles Kline
Hello all,

I have a text blurb that is on the home page of a site. I need to make 
this block of text editable through a form in  the admin section of the 
site. Is it worth having a table in the db or would I be better off 
writing to a file for this?

Thanks,
Charles

Just use a file. The only problem you'll have is if two people try to
edit the file at the same time, but it doesn't sound like that'll be an
issue.
