I hesitate to answer this so as to not create a naming confusion but I can not resist. :) However, Adam (not me) already answered your question. If your hosting provider does not provide you with a mysql or any other database server you need to use a flat file database solution. I second his recommendation of sqlite if you can use it with your hosting provider. Another choice may be db or access of you are on windows through odbc. If none of these options work for you then you either need to change hosting providers (which you should since they don't provide what you seem to need) or you are of course able to write your own database in PHP and share it with the world. (This is a joke, please don't ask us how to write your own database). Also, *please* do not cross post in the future, pick a list and give it a shot, if you don't have any luck try another one. I hesitate to cross post this response but you did not even provide a valid e-mail address so I am not sure which list you are checking.
