PHP simple text database with SQL syntax [closed]

Question

I am looking for a simple text flat database that can work with the SQL-like instructions SELCT, INPUT, UPDATE, DELETE. There is a database that fully satisfies me, but it is for Perl - http://metacpan.org/pod/Sprite I need something like that, but PHP class. Thank you in advance!

Does it need to have text as a backend, or do you just want something portable? In other words, have you considered SQLite? – Wellestablished

Answer 1

Use SQLite. It has a PHP class too here:

SQLite is installed in PHP5 by default. php.net/manual/en/book.sqlite.php – Haygood

Not plain text, but at least it's saved in a file not behind a server. – Tracey

SQLite is most certainly not a flat file database. – Isa

+1. I love that database. I don't get to use it nearly enough. – Isa

SQLite is amazing! But this php hosting doesn't support it :( – Bakehouse

Answer 2

Apparently stalled or abandoned but quite what you are looking for:

PHP Text File Database API - PHP Text DB: access Text Files with SQL

• http://www.c-worker.ch/txtdbapi/index_eng.php, also at
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/flatfiledb/

PHP Flatfile package - provides equivalents to many common SQL commands

Answer 4

file = table folder = database

ASAP - as simple as possible

the idea is like this:

database = folder

table = subfolder

column = file in subfolder

record = a line in column-file ;)

so theoretically you could have a table inside a table or even work with filesystem links (linux ln -sv command)
