User data safety - Dotayuri - 16.02.2013

How safe is it to save user data in a file like this:YSI

PHP код:



format( pFile , sizeof(pFile), "users/%s.ini", playerid);

And what should i do to make it safer

This would be the worst ever way to store player info that I can think of.

Why ?
Well come on think about it, players Leave & join

Which then means that a if player that leaves and his I'd is for example 7 and a new player joins his I'd wil be 7 also, what does that tell u ?

Im kind of new so, it tells me that theres a new player with the ID of 7
and his data should be updated right ??

I suggest using MySQL, and for a password, use the whirlpool encryption.

i was having a hard time saving the users data in SQLlight so i though that YSI might be a littler better.
because SQL saved a file called users.db and YSI saves a file so "BLA".
Is is better to make a users.db ??

I was using this: db_query

PHP код:



#include    <rBits>

That was my first pick, would that not be as good ??
