RE: MySQL vs Text Files
It all depends on what you're doing. There's no point in using a database if you're just storing some simple information. Queries can take a while to process. If you're making a news system then SQL would be useful for having news categories and/or a news search feature. I'm sure there are a lot more cases in which SQL would be convenient since SQL queries are hell easy to perform through PHP.
