Hi.

I work with recursive array trees of 10-20 levels in PHP. So far I
have been using serialize() to store the arrays, generating files 5+
MB large, which take 10-15 seconds to unserialize and about tenfold of
RAM! I've been adviced to use MySQL (relational db's), but are there
any other options beside that and var_export/include? Something that
works in a similar way as MySQL when adding a new element without
loading the whole database itself...

Thanks!
