PHPBB on textfiles?

Post by harrisonad »

Hi again,

Is it possible to run PHPBB forum script on textfiles?
If it is, have you tried it? and how long did it take to convert it?

Thanks

Think they mean how to run PHPBB without a database application, i.e. all the data is stored in files rather than on a system such as MySQL.

that'd depend on whether you wanted to have the "textfiles" support SQL queries or not... If it's okay, you should be able to port in an SQLite interface without a lot of pain. If you do not want to support SQL queries, you will need to rewrite almost every file in the software, which will not be fun.
