Locked Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 After looking through some google results i decided to ask the question here. I will be using the database to store all user information and will be relaying on it heavily, the only thing that i would be using xml for is to store language packs. Im just wondering what your experience is with language packs, is it better to store it in a database or xml? i know each has their own pros and cons such as a database would perform better (According to google results) and xml will be easier to get translated (Send the xml file to the translator).

448191 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 How about both? Use a database but allow import/export. But if I may suggest, use a standard format. That doesn't have to be XML either. I would suggest Gettext, because it has tools available for all platforms. For a short overview of some of your options, check out the docs for Zend_Translate_Adapter: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.translate.adapter.html Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/184611-xml-or-database/#findComment-974607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
