Hello,
I've got a project that i have to reference information stored on one
page from another. This page I won't be visiting first, and at the
moment i'd prefer to use flat php files, but should that prove to hard
i'll transition to a mysql database. I'm looking for simplicity and
maintainability.
I've got a page of individuals, their names, positions, and a brief
summary of them. On the main page I want to put their names and
positions in an ordered list, pulling that information from the second
page. The idea is whenever the second page is updated the main page
will automatically update.
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
Dave.

Just a wild stab, but maybe hidden form fields and javascript pr php?

Consider using arrays. Give each individual a unique ID and use for your keys
Serialize() the array and put_file_contents()
file_get_contents and unserialize()

Well, if you're seeking to avoid the DB, you could just make sure the second
page is valid XHTML. Then the first page could just run a quick script that
parses the XML of the second page to produce the data for the list on the
first page.
You could use simplexml (or dom, or the event parser, whatever you're
comfortable with) to grab the info from the elements of second page and use
the data as you need to in the generation of the first page. Without much
work, you could even set up a short-term cache of the first page just so it
renders quickly most of the time.
