Ok, so my website is comming along just fine, but now I find my lack of
knowledge weighing down on me. I'm at a position where I can either store
some data about files in my database, or, I can just add the information
into the filename, but which is faster? Understand that I'm not always
opening the file, but I'm going to need to list info about the file, such as
who wrote it and when. So which is likely to be faster? Storing the
information in the database (mysql) or in should I add it to the filename of
the file. Either way will work, I'd just like to use the way thats faster so
as to not slow my site down unneccessarily. ohh.. and how fast is php
itself.

Thanks in advance.
