[thelist] pre-project planning

[Jeremy Weiss]

I'm about embark on a project that's going to require me to cycle through 5
to 10 text files, massage the data a bit, and then import them into a
database. The file sizes will vary with 15 MB being the highest we 'should'
encounter. This will be the first such project I've done. I'll be using PHP
5 and MySQL 5.

I already know that I'm going to need to check the size limits for
fopen/fread. I'm wondering are there are any other potential gotcha's that I
need to watch for?

TIA,
jeremy
