A database is not available and hence all these attempts. Basically the program is a spider for my website (over 40000 pages) to find errors and display that on a html page.
Databases are easy to set up and don't require any sort of administrator privileges. They are also built to handle large data sets. mysql, for instance, has no problem handling data sets with millions of records. Moreover, using a relational database makes your persistent data much more transparent, and I think you'll find it'll be easier to debug, maintain and extend your code because of that. Anyway, just something to consider...
