"Last played" list

[wizpl]

I have setup a page that can play any podcast that you enter as url into a form field.

I'd like to show also a list of last 10 podcasts.
What strategy would you suggest to program it. Should I use a database, a flat file or something else?

In the future, I plan to add a "user list of podcasts" and perhaps a "top ten", which suggests using a database...

anyway, how they do it usually in forum scripts, displaying "last 10 posts" etc.

thanks for help

it's usually with a database

each time someone enters a podcast save the name, and whatever else you need, along with a date and time. You can select the last 10 by datetime.
