Using a database does not in any way, shape, or form preclude you from using XML. XML is just text. Databases store text very nicely. Some databases even claim to understand XML internally. I have no direct knowledge of the validity of such claims. If you think it would be better in a database, you are probably correct, and you probably should stop using files immediately. Otherwise, you will almost for sure find yourself dealing with race conditions and other gnarly stuff that is taken care of in the database. In short, you'll find yourself basically re-writing a goodly chunk of very tricky code that somebody already wrote for you, for free. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm Off-Topic: What is the moral equivalent of 'cat' in Windows? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
