per1os Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 MySQL = safer, securer, easier, faster, efficient...to name just a few. MySQL will rock your world over a regular flat file. It is insanely fast and easy to manipulate. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/59317-php-login-and-mysql-login/#findComment-294645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Flat files would require chmonds set to prevent unwanted access, plus if it was being updated it need a flock which would delay logins. Flat Files can take about 20 users than they get useless mysql can take 100 million users and then you need to go to an oracle based system Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/59317-php-login-and-mysql-login/#findComment-294647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
