Hi, I'm in the middle of building a Content
Management System to be used by out school. It has
gotten to the stage where I'm going to have to
start building admin pages so that others can be
admins, So I'm going to have to rewrite several
pages to cater for this. What I'm wondering is,
what is the best way to store admin variables?
Should I put them in a table in MySQL or in a flat
file? Do you think that it would slow my server
down conciderably if I added another 3 sql querys
to every page and had 100 users on using the site
at once?

I'm running it on an IIS server (Server 2003)
which is not normal for me (I like my Linux), so
I'm just hoping it doesn't eat away all the memory
slowly throughout a day.

I know a couple of poeple have created and
contributed to CMS' before so if you have any tips
or pointers in this area let me know.
