Hi. Create a page containing just: <?php phpinfo() ?> open it in a browser, then see if SQLite appears in the resulting web page. If yes, you're done - you can use an actual database, although an embedded one. But this should also mean that you have file write access from PHP - since SQLite creates databases in files, which it needs to be able to write. (Although brain-damaged setups where SQLite is installed but write access to the disk cannot be excluded - you need to test.) If you don't have write access to the disk, my guess is that paying for mySQL is the cheapest solution - and a very good one, actually. br, flj -- Fine counsel is confusing, but example is always clear.
