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?
