im having a bit of a problem, my hoster doesn't supply MySql with php.
although i have never liked MySql i would of rather tryed it.
ok...the question...you already guessed it.

this is for a forum, i had an idea. make a folder only readable be admin, create a folder inside that for your forum name eg "General Discusion" inside that a new folder for topics and inside that txt files for posts.

but another way i though of was to use XML, create a file and use XML type syntax for lay it all out. then...encrypt the file with some made up althrigram. but this would be hard and time consuming...anyone have any other ideas (except, change hoster, that is out of the question). help would be much appriciated.

Use a DB wrapper and support multiple backends.

PostgreSQL, mySQL, sqlite, etc.

Make your database code modular so people can use whatever module they want.

If your host doesn't support mySQL then I suggest moving hosts.

Or using one of the free DB services out there.

Pretty simple.

Could they be supplying some other SQL database engine? You may wish to check on that...

I have never managed to get SQLite working with PHP... it works fine with C++, Perl etc...

afaik you need to install an extension to the main PHP parser, which you can only do if you happen to be the person hosting the server, or have remote access to it.

Most PHP installations come with the sqlite extension.

try sqlite and see if it works, if not you will have to just use text files... which would be VERY slow after a while.

Why can't you simply switch to a better host which offers mysql databases?
