Hi im making a simple calender script that needs to use a flat file database and i just want to know what your opinions are about storing the data in ini file format to use the parse_ini_file() funtion to grab the data and put it in an array.

The array format is how i want it to be in as i can then just call the information for the week wanted.

So in short the question is "is it ok to use a ini file format in a text file for a non configeration file or is it better to store the data in csv format and put it into arrays myself?"


(example of the ini format database im using.)
[20060527]
date=27th May 2006
price=555
sat=a
sun=a
mon=a
tue=a
wed=a
thu=a
fri=a

[20060603]
date=3rd Jun 2006
price=555
sat=b
sun=b
mon=b
tue=b
wed=b
thu=b
fri=s

Using a CSV format would provide more compatibility with other applications such as spreadsheets.
