If I wanted to add a comments section to my news posts should I use filewriter techniques or MySQL? Thanks
Which technology are you most comfortable with? What technologies are already used on your site? Does anyone else have to maintain the code?
Its just me, for practice as I have something to show to potential coop employers. Im using file writing as of now, learning MySQL with PHP though right now
If it's for demo purposes, make sure that it's something you can build well and demo successfully.
A database-driven site will always be more impressive to an emplyer, so if you can get it working in PHP/MySQL, do.
