Actually, I think the file is more efficient in this case. No database operations are required.

cinewbie81, if you are able to store your data in "ini" format you could use php's parse_ini_file() which would return an associative array. Example myfile.txt in ini format:

Code:

StudentID = "S0001"
StudentName = "Francis Light"
Age = 20
Description = "Francis light is bla bla bla"
