nethnet Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 You could keep track of how many times the logo was viewed in a flat text file if you don't want to use a database. Although, if this is sensitive material, you should be aware that the text file won't be secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 You could keep track of how many times the logo was viewed in a flat text file if you don't want to use a database. Although, if this is sensitive material, you should be aware that the text file won't be secure. Wrong! Flat files are exactly what a mysql database is data in some organized fashion. The fact that the physical mysql "file" is protected in a much more elaborate fashion than most text files make it seem to have a more sophisticated version of security, however flat file storage can be just as secure if not more secure than mysql storage when properly done.
