Dave,
Unless there is a strong reason for using files (like for example it
interfaces with a different app which uses files) then the case for a proper
RDBMS (eg MySQL) is the better choice.
Databases are much easier (/quicker) to add and delete records from, search
etc
HTH,
Tom

Subject: [PHP] MySql or flat database using PHP ?
Before I start creating an Sql table/database, thought I would ask for
advice first.
I am creating a directory online, with urls information, links, email
addresses etc etc. What do you think is best a MySql database or writing it
to a file using fopen/fwrite (flat file) ??? Your thoughts would be very
much appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
