Depends on your needs. I prefer MySQL tho'.

So the three mentioned have pros and cons on what they can do and certain ones do certain tasks better than the other?

So I should use all three?

I recommend y_ini, as I've used it in the past and its an extremely simple system.

Although MySQL is more hard to understand, its also better like ****** said, for storing frequently-used data.

I suggest you using MySQL.

But if you don't want to learn it then use y_ini.

Send me to the nearest MySQL tutorial.

There will be certain aspects of your script which may be sped up by using a different storing method. Combining the use of the different methods for areas which they are best suited will be your best bet.

I use MX_Ini because none of the others i tested simply wouldn't work even if i tried the creators example xD
Don't know why, but I use It and It's simple.

pawn Код:

new file = ini_openFile("file.whatever");
ini_setFloat(file,"Set",Float);
ini_setString(file,"String","Set");
ini_setInteger(file,"Integer",100);

ini_getFloat(file,"Get",float);
ini_getString(file,"String",Get,32);
ini_getInteger(file,"Integer",get);
ini_closeFile(file);

As simple as that, and is much much faster then dini.
No troubles.

I may just do DJson, since I already know it.
DJson is just Dini on steriods
