I am looking for a php links system...one that does not requeire mySQl, and is very easy on system resources...I want the script to display links and descriptions of each link....the only person that can add links is the admin...who has to login...if anyone knows of a script please post it...
thanks.

if you use php, you must use mysql. php and mysql are like brothers. They are do without each other to give ultimate performance for your site.

have you paid hotscripts.com a visit yet? :)

Although MySQL might (or might not) be a better choice, I don't think he "must". This is in regards to adding and pulling data, so it would probably be best, but one thing I see about PHP that I find really annoying, is that people think they have to use MySQL all the time, even for things not needed. 90% of all PHP scripts I see, make SQL db connections and it's a little much. Now, rather than HTML, people are using PHP to print static HTML adding MySQL database connections for things like counters and it's adding more and more to consume so much system resources, that it would be better if people just used CGI and had one script doing one thing, rather than opening MySQL connections with PHP for everything -- it would be faster. There's times when it is better to use (this is probably one of them, yes), and times when it's just a bad idea and resources are wasted. (I had to get that out of my system)

I have looked at hotscripts...cant find what i want....this isn't for a huge links directory...maybe 20-30 links

For 20-30 links, honestly, you might just want to write up some php pages. I don't think it is worth the trouble to use a script for that.

Chicken...this isn't for me...it would be for clients...so that they can add or delete links.....if it was for me I'd rather hard code it
