Ok i was thinking of making a simple php news system , wich will use flatfiles. One of my concerns is to be multilingual(use other languages then English for content). From what i have seen, TXT files cant do what i want(Or do it with difficulty),so i was thinking of saving all content in XML files. Do the general idea is this: -have a post form -After putting the text i want in(in any other language then English,for example greek) parse the text in an XML file(wich can support unicode text from what i have seen) What are your thoughts on this? Is there any other way to store unicode files in flatfile? Any advices/guidelines?
XML file is a TXT file with an XML extension. So it wouldn't make a difference if it's XML or TXT or CSV or whatever, they are still all flat files. It's all really a matter of the OS and the program that saves the files, whether it will be unicode or not.
