However, that's exactly the sort of thing that databases excel at, whereas a text-file-based solution would be clunky at best, and would not scale well. I would highly recommend you rethink your aversion to using a database.@NogDogApr 06.2021 — #
PS: That aspect of using a text file can become very problematic. Without careful consideration and use of file-locking techniques (e.g. using [u][` ](https://php.net/flock) [/u], perhaps), things could get really messy here.
Email subscription by php only
Hello.
Three questions please.
1) Is it possible to code adding and deleting from subscription for an email newsletter on a blog by working with a simple txt file located on a server containing list of email addresses by using php only?
2) How do I add first names there? A second list? Or email address and first name separated with a comma?
3) Can more users online add their email address to the file at the same time?
I am asking these questions, because I prefer not to study SQL.
Thank you.
