PHP Forum without MySQL 1

[Leozack]

Just a quick question this - are there any? Are they good? Are they secure (enough)? Just it would save me the time of writing one, though I'd have to edit it anyway to use my user files made by signing upto the page instead of making people sign up AGAIN for the forum seperately which is sad. _________________________________

You'd be hard pressed to find a decent forum that doesn't use a database.

You could do it with text files, i'd recommend some form of encryption. --BB

I believe InvisionPower have a php board using flatfiles rather than a database as well as their usual database version.

http://www.invisionpower.com

- Main website

http://www.invisionboard.com

- Database version

http://flatboard.invisionboard.com

- Flatfile version (PHP and CGI)

Yeah, actually I've written my own site login system and my mate is working on a bb that uses that aswell. I'll probably end up using his simply cos that way people don't have to signup for the site then signup for the board, and I doubt invision's flatboard is easily able to change the user files, and I'm certainly not revolving my site around their user files. Plus building your own is always cool Thanks guys. And I don't encrypt user data, only their password. If anyone manages to get hold of my user data files then they deserve access to their wonderful contents that are displayed on the profiles anyway =P _________________________________
