Possible without SQL? Storing and retrieving values

[xianaier]

If an end-user wants to input some information each day (let's say travel logs) and store it somewhere, and then later retrieve all that information again, should I just tell people to write it out on Microsoft Word and then when they're ready, input all that info into the PHP form and send it? I don't want to have them store things on the server into a .txt file unless there's a way to make it so that only that person can retrieve the info.

I hope that makes sense.

One thing you can do. Set up a “user” folders and use php to specify which user can view which folder, but remember it would be messy and slow as well. Better way you should opt SQL.
