I found out JSON could work as a small local database, thinking of storing records of at least 1135 cars, televisions and handbags, while allowing downloads through magnet links.

I would like to see if there are projects that have already done this or if a standard database with SQL and PHP is better.

why would you store cars, televisions and handbags for a bittorrent tracker?

and maybe most importantly, why would you use PHP?

Can't tell you right now.

PHP can be old but it is still taught at schools, are there other languages I should use?

[–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

it is taught, and maybe it's better now than when I was taught, but I would rather use Java or Rust. reasons include PHP's syntax being insane, and it regularly having security issues by itself, even without the ones that the web dev creates

What are you talking about? The syntax is basically C with a few $ and -> sprinkled in, and it has just about as many security issues as any other language. Plus, it has been receiving a lot of great new features over the last few years.

I think you’re confusing WordPress with PHP.

You have a point, but to be honest my only concern for this project would be hiding from the ESA.
