Hi,

Not sure if everyone would agree, but I think the best way to go about
doing this is just to make a table in a relational database. You can
restrict access permissions using MySQL if that's something you're
really concerned about, but there's basically no disadvantage to just
storing your data in a MyISAM table instead of a shared object. You can
index, sort, etc. very quickly that way. You can even load the result of
the query into your $_SESSION variable after the first time so that you
essentially have the result set cached. If indexing isn't a big deal,
I'd just say store the data in a flat file. You can always move it
outside of the web-accessible directory if you're worried about people
accessing it directly.

Alternately, you could just store the data in a PHP file and include it
in your scripts. Either way works, I think.
