Currently I am working on an article system that uses a text DB file. I realize that using a DB system like MySQL would be safer + more efficent and easier. However, the object of this system is to NOT use a 'commercial' DB system.
Everything is perfect, except for one aspect of the app. This aspect is the part of the program that writes to the DB file. I first thought that chmodding and then writing to the file would work, however my ideas were quickly shot down upon the swift and harsh realization that a user/script cant use the chmod function. I am pretty sure this is because of some permissions issues with the server or folder. Any workarounds for this situation would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time, Morgan
