what to use array or mysql?

[andriy]

Hi guys.

I'm writing php multylinguall site. I have a big registration form in it with numerous fields. One of them is <Select> with countries names. What should I use MySQL table with countries data or an array in some config file? What is faster?

Thank you...

well, since if you have it in a database, you'll eventually have to output it somehow (my preference: an array)... so storing it in a config file as an array will be faster, but I would store it into a database, easier to maintain...
