txtsql or mysql ??

[ilyas_88]

Hey guys

I need to know what is different between txtsql and mysql, which is best? I will use txtsql because my server running PHP 5 and cutenews does not work with this version, or it works but you have many problems. Is that safe to use txtsql when you install cutenews?

PLZ can anyone answer me clearly, thnx

I can confirm you that cutenews.ru works with PHP 5.2.xx. If it doesn't you either have some really old version of the script or your server is badly configured.

I would personally suggest using MySQL as your database over the txtSQL. Why? MySQL is way more stable, better structured, and has no limitations regarding how much content you can add to your site. txtSQL will at some point just "block", and you won't be able to add any content anymore. MySQL is a winner in speed of reading data aswell.

OK, I understand. but I have tried many time to install cutenews on PHP 5, but I did not work, or I install it, but there were many problems with, for example, I could not add news and many other problems...

does anyone have cute news scrip that has been fixed to not get the problem when you have PHP 5.xx on server?

there were some who sent mail here on the forum, to show how you can fix problems on PHP 5, I tried to fix the scrip, but it did not work

all I need is cutenews scrip that has been fixset for PHP 5.x.x?

another question: if I use txtsql a while after that I can switch to mysql without losing any news ...??

Yes, I have cutenews.ru installed on a server with php 5.2.11 and it works without problems.
I personally haven't used txtSQL as I prefer MySQL over it, and doing same job 2 times isn't exactly what I want to do, but I believe there is a conversion tool which can transit your news from txtSQL into MySQL.

Which version of php does your server have installed? If it's php 5.3, then script might have problems, since some functions are deprecated in php 5.3

Ok, my server running PHP version 5.3.2, I tried many times, but I could not fix the errors. are this many files to be edited in cutenews scrip to solve problems? or...

if someone had fixed the files, it would be very nice if you send all the files

I've tried this page but I could not fix all the errors I could not add / edit news and ...

Do you have any other id? there must be a solution to it?

Post some errors which you are getting, it's almost impossible to help you if we don't see the errors.
