I have my little phone book app working with MySQL/PHP4--I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my questions over the last several days. I'd like to expand the phone book capabilities. I would like to be able save the table out to the local machine as a text flat file. Then I'd like to make the phone book app work with that flat file. This would allow users to access their phone books when not connected to the net. If new entrys were added to the flat file, those new entrys could have a marker so that the MySQL database could later be updated.
I know people do all sorts of stuff with perl and flat files, but I can't find much info on PHP and flat files. How feasible does this this whole thing sound. Any advice would be appreciated - Thanks - Mike Acklin
