Ladies and Gentlemen of the advance PHP Database Race, I have a question here that i desperatley need an answer for a question at Uni, please please could someone breifly tell me what the advantages and disadvantages in using a connection to a dedicated
database server to store data over using PHP’s dedicated file handling
functions?????

database: a lot easier handling, sorting, faster queries unless you have some awesome hashing skill. Simple query language.
file handling: you have to write your own database of sorts, lots of debugging, time wasted...
unless it's for learning how databases work internally, I wouldn't use the file system..
