PHP Flat File DB library with cache for CMS

More informations are available at http://www.badpenguin.org/php-flatfiledb

Why?

On my VPS i uses Wordpress that is a fatty slow MySQL app.

Faster websites performs better also in SEO ranking.

Technology

• Don't reinvent the wheel.

• Uses "dba" with "qdbm" format.

• "dba" format can be accessed from Perl and from Bash.

Features

• DBA is a module so its faster then any self-made implementation.

• Table Locking.

• Library has a little "cache" system on top of DBA.

• Can store anything: strings, arrays, objects.

Road Map

• [ ] Database Locking.

• [ ] Disable Locking.

• [ ] Implement "composer"

Examples

Opening the DB

$cms = FlatFile::open('db/cms.qdbm');

Write Post

/* Create an Object */
$post = new stdClass;
$post->id=5;
$post->title='my title';
$post->body='<p>my content</p>';
$post->last_modified_time = time();
$post->tags = array('featured','gallery');

$cms->set($post->id,$post);
if (!$post) die('Save failed');

Get Post

$post = $cms->get($post_id);
if (!$post) die('Post not found');

Check if Key exists

if ($cms->is_valid('manteinance_mode')) die('Website is under manteinance');

Delete a key

$cms->delete('manteinance_mode');

Get all data

print_r($cms->get_all());
