Is there a file where to save dada?

Question

Hi
My question is:
If I make a subwebsite where you can register, how can I save the data? Is the only possibility a MySQL database? or is the a file like the config.yml in Minecraft plugins?
Thank you!
PLEASE!

Answer 1

MySQL is your best bet.

If you install wamp you get the MySQL server and the web server, an all in one.

There is a very basic Login screen you can find just by googling it. its as easy as copy and paste ((Which is not recommended) the php part only, the mysql config you have to do yourself)

PHP + MhSQL.

Answer 2

For Login SQL is best but There may happen SQL injections. But you theoretically could create a file and read from it.

Answer 3

Not if you secure your forms.
with files you have the potential to get malware or even hacked faster.

There are tons of guides to do it.
