Hey,

 > A text db is never going to be as fast as a relational db.


I know ...but I have no choice, no MySql or any other database installed on
the server.


> Why can't you use a database (I assume there was some sort of technical
reason) ?

Load / resources basically, its a bunch of load balanced servers that take
millions of hits per day.

They actually have two types of servers:
The preview servers (which i am allowed to play in) which has php installed
(for a few clients I have to add)
and the content servers which have nothing but static files, no cgi/php and
no DBs of course.

I cant change hosts and I have to work with whats there, I cant ask for
anything to be installed....thats the deal

I thought of doing some fancy hacks with php using includes and text files
etc but in the end I see that I need
a database, or a kind of "database thingy"...hence the text file db.

Thanks,
Ryan
