Is PHP serialization a good choice for storing data from a small website modified by one person

Question

I am planning a PHP website architecture. It will be a small website with few visitors and a small data set. Data is changed exclusively by one user (administrator).

To simplify the task, I do not want to worry about a real database or XML data. I am thinking of storing all the data through PHP serialization into multiple files. For example, if there are several categories, I will store an array containing Categoryclass instances for each category.

Are there any pitfalls using PHP serialization in these circumstances?

Answer 1

Using databases is not so difficult, and any additional time will be well studied using the database.
