Question

I need to save 1 date value but I dont want to make a whole database for it. I need the date for a countdown and the date needs to be changeable via a form on the site.

Any alternatives? I was thinking about a .txt file with the date but i couldnt find a proper guide on writing to a txt with php

thanks in advance

As commented by “HamZa DzCyberDeV”:

    // to save it
    $date = "2013-02-08 14:28";
    file_put_contents("countdownFileName.txt", $date);
    // to open it
    $countdown = file_get_contents("countdownFileName.txt");

(you do need access to write that file from php)
