I need to take a value from a database and store it in a file on the server, which can be accessed by multiple files, and users.
The data will always be a 2 digit integer value.
My thoughts are .txt, .ini, .xml but I am from far an expert on this, which file type would provide speed, reliability and be easy to dynamically update in php.
If all it is, is a single number, there’s no reason to use a special file format beyond just plain text (e.g.
txtor even no extension at all).
