    A flat file cms uses files to store data rather than a MYSQL database.

    Thanks for the info

    But I think, it would be a good choice to use the ones with db as backend, unless you have a particular reason to choose the flat-file approach.

    wouldn't that pose a serious security risk? i mean any bot could crawl the page and eventually find the files containing passwords/usernames...

    Maybe... if it's put in the right location outside of the site's root folder, it's generally safe... that's where I put database access info files when I can.

    chris - generally speaking, flat-file systems aren't going to have a user type of system... that's how they can get away with flat files. they don't need the data integrity associated with databases.

    Thanks for the replys.

    I like flat-file cms's because they're easy to understand and edit, and i dont know much php or have much need for the more powerful cms's like joomla or drupal at the moment. It would of been nice to have a front-end login / members area though.
