xml message boards
« on: August 06, 2006, 11:26:21 PM »
do any exist? message boards that store their data in an xml file instead of a database? or would that idea be prohibitively wasteful? i'm working on a website that doesn't have access to a database and doesn't support sqlite, but does support php.

it's not a big deal, just wondering if anyone ever saw anything like this

just get a better website!  they can get a shared host for pennies a day from almost anywhere that includes database access.

or go one step further and get a virtual dedicate host for $10 to $16 a month.
I always recommend jumpline

Why would you even consider managing something like a set of forums with XML files????  Not only is it inefficient, but it'd be a lot of coding overhead to get the same power that SQL gives you.
