I did not get access to any database system on the ISP's end. I could get access to MySQL for $$$. Initially I just want to test everything works with storing to simple text files. After that has happenned. And if the requirement grows. Then spending $$$ is feasable.
As I said I am just a novice. So I want to get something small going. Kind Regards, Robert.
