Why not create an CSV, and use fgetcsv() and fputcsv() to get/store the
data? That way it's still pretty easy to update/add/delete stuff, and you
could even run a database somewhere else that would periodically upload a
changed csv easily. Maybe even parse_ini_file() could help you here, but I
doubt it will handle very nicely once the shop grows.
