是否有可能将文件定位到index.php（Apache Webserver），它可以像数据库一样读/写？

Question

I am trying to code a website where I need an easy DB with about 3 tables. The problem is I don't get a database from the Admin of the Network and do not have any rights on the Web server but I can place files there. Currently, I am testing locally with xamp and an Apache server.

My question now is: is there a possibility that I have a file which is like a DB on the web server (maybe XML or CSV)? It should be possible to open/edit the file with PHP 5. If yes, what would you recommend as the best solution?

Answer 1

You have many options, some of them you listed. You could use xml, csv, or yaml.

It'll depend really on what exactly you want to save. Those file formats do not work quite like a database and may be quite limiting. If you have the proper software already on the software your best bet is likely to use SQLite as it is stored as a file.
