i don't want to use MySQL with this.
Because you are not comfortable with mysql? Or is there another reason?....

If there is another reason for wanting flat text file databases, maybe you should look at running one of the existing mysql + php based link managers and then having someone quote you to write a simple custom database -> flatfile exporter in whatever format you want that file to be.

It would be a lot easier of a job for the programmer (cheaper for you) plus you would get the added bonus of having your link list able to handle much more traffic and scale easily.

AND.. using the example of phplinks... it may still have improvements to it that do not cost you any additional money & wont effect your exporter providing the db hasn't changed much.
