PHP: Organizing Posts by Date

[secondstage]

There two separate .txt files containing posts for a blog. They are created using PHP, and HTML forms, and have a date for each post. I want to have them combined into one for the anything-and-everything section of a blog. Is this possible with PHP, or would there be a better/simpler way of organizing posts and retrieving them?

This would be much simpler if you used SQL. SQL is meant for databases, text files are not

How would I go about doing that? I've tried to look around and find a simple database manager, and come in contact with alot of fill in the blank boxes.
