PHP Message Board

[Anon]

I want to make a Message Board in PHP but I don't want to use MySQL. I want to be like an Ikonboard (ikonboard.com) but without the member login stuff (as I will have that for my site).

I want to use flat files for the board. Any suggestions on how I should go about doing this?

PS: How do CGI Message Boards work? They dont have databases like MySQL right?

CGi board saves the posts as txt pages, i think

most information is saved in text files (user information, posts, profile information)

It's not very information and can be slow and tedious. But hey, sometimes you're limited like that!
