He should have some sort of database on his hosting, i.e MySQL.

Not all hosts provide SQL Databasees Darren, being a host I thought you'd know that :rolleyes:.

It would cost a host less to not include databases. It looks like flat files is the only way, unless you host the SQL databases on another host.

Can you not just make a .txt file and have summin like

id ~ Name ~ Discription ~ ImageURL ~ Price //
id ~ Name ~ Discription ~ ImageURL ~ Price

if you get me then use the php explode function to brake it up?

If you going to have many things separated with ~ I would recommend using split and a for loop.
