Hi guys,

since I am a database dummy and also don´t have access to multiple databases for different projects, I always store my data in arrays, which I then export to *.php files like this:

<?php
$data=array (
'value_a' =>
array (
'something' => '1210324762',
'something_else' => 'xyz',
),
)
?>

stored to data.php.

I also store usernames and salted password hashes like that. Do you consider this a very unsafe way to go and easy to breach? I can´t think of a way to read the data from the server without including it into a php file that also is on that server, to which only I have access...

Thanks for sharing your insight!

Yes thats fine, there is no security or performance issue storing data like this.

I'm more confident with databases and I have to say I'm really an 'array dummy' - so, if I have problems with the number of databases available, y simply use different table names like 'project1_tablename' and 'proyect2_tablename'. Of course, space for database is another limit to consider.

ok, thank you!
