Hi everyone,

 I am trying to set up a Content Managment program.  I want to use a flat file as opposed to a SQL database.  Right now, I have a page that takes:

$title
date(H:i, something or another)
$story
$posted_by

and passes these to a flat file after adding a table around it to make it all nice and neat.

 What I want to do is to allow an individual story to display on a page by with user comments.

 So, how do you guys handle content managment systems?  Do you use one of thoes newfangled "array" thingies?

 I am not looking for code, just for some basic ideas I can kick around and throw some code at.

Step one, forget flatfiles, they are more trouble than they are worth.

I like to know every way to do something, starting with the most difficult. That way, I can really apretiate(sp?) the easy way.

Besides, my ISP doesn't like SQL...🙂
