Well, flat files are fairly limiting, but if you've looked into open source solutions like MySQL (http://www.mysql.com) and still want to use them, I'm sure there's some kind of PHP-Class that will let you do this. If not, write your own, or just store your data in a form of comma deliminated form and import/export it each time you access it, slow, but effective in not using a database and keeping the data well organized.
