You can use SQLite. It's a database library that stores its data in any
file. If you use PDO, it's even a pretty seamless transition from
another database, as long as you're not relying on advanced features.
Here's the catch: it lacks strong type checking, foreign keys (although
these can be emulated with triggers for the most part) and some other
advanced database features.

support)
