I recently came across a CD-ROM web browser catalog that uses ASP and a BIN file database. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to create such a thing with PHP. If so, how would you go about creating a database? Obviously, you can't expect everyone to have MySQL installed. I know PHP can read/write text files. But, If I want to transform a 20 MB MySQL database into such a file, I would think the queries would be really slow. I've only used PHP with MySQL, I've never used PHP with Text Files. So, I'm not familiar with it's limitations, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas, or know of a article/tutorial that deals with something like this?
