timmy0320 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Alright I'm going to start my personal site here soon and I'm going all out with creating a blog system to which I can reference it by Category and what not and also a comment system along with it. I have some questions regarding this though. Thinking both security and speed, which is the better option for me to store my comments, categories, blog topics and what not in? Should the comments and blog stories be stored in files and the categories and topics to the blogs in a database or which is my best option? I am sure this is all personal preference but I would like some input on what you would do and why so I can get some ideas on how this is going to be done. I'm definitely not downloading any scripts to view either because most of the scripts I downloaded last month to help my 'refresh' my PHP memory were absolute garbage and we're vulnerable to just about anything.

trq Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I would think it much easier to store all content in a database. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/97610-need-some-advice/#findComment-499417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 my 2 cents: unless you've got a lot of extra time to write/test/debug your own blog script, i'd try out Wordpress. if you're doing it as practice (i.e., you've got a lot of extra time), never mind.

timmy0320 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I would think it much easier to store all content in a database. I was thinking it would be a lot easier for me to do that way, but now I have no allow only certain HTML. Yes, will take me some time to get down but I'm here for the learning right? I am going to try to avoid the whole BBCode thing. my 2 cents: unless you've got a lot of extra time to write/test/debug your own blog script, i'd try out Wordpress. if you're doing it as practice (i.e., you've got a lot of extra time), never mind. Don't have 'a lot' of extra time, but since it will be my personal site there is no reason not to be authentic with my work. Like I said above though, I plan on doing some side work eventually so it's also a great learning experience.
