I suspect he might have meant even more when he said, "... learn SQL, finally." SQL is more than a convenient wrapper around fopen, fread, and fwrite. Consider the possibility of expressing as many of your business rules as possible, declaratively, in SQL. Then, beyond simply "dumping" data into the map from the DBMS, consider that the validation functions could be queries asking the DBMS if the user input is valid.
