Some needs are better served by using the file system while others are better served by using a database. There's plenty of discussion on this in the archives.

It's a webmaster forum, but a little err, shall we say,
liberal in graphics and terminology. In fact, GFY isn't shorthand
for the greatest cartoon character of all time it stands for Go
?=str_rot13('Shpx');? Yourself.
Fun to check out at home, but I probably should've mentioned for
those unaware, it's not entirely recommended to check out at the
office. In short: NSFW.
Sorry!
