NYCPHP Meetup

[Tom Melendez]

Only going to do this once?  Any chance that you'll want to
extract/manipulate data from these files later on?  Would it make
sense to batch load them into a DB and work with them via SQL somehow
so you could work with them later?  Or process in the background?

Thanks,

Tom
