Content Updater

[Sri2003]

Hi all,

This may seem a odd question, how do you create a Content update page so you can log into a special page within your domain and update content of other pages?


I would prefer a PHP based script if there is one available, i have searched but to no avail.

Can anyone help?

Regards

Do you mean a page that is an 'include', that you update and then it appears where ever it is included in other pages, or do you mean that you want to update pages directly through your browser?

I have seen a few scripts, php and cgi, for the latter but have never used one.
I can find one or two if you would like, and that's what you are looking for.

I believe what he wants is wither a blog type script or news script. ofcourcse it may be a full blown cms(Content Management System)

try hotscripts.com you can probably find something there.

MikMik i would appreiate if you could locate some.

Okay, Sri2003, it looks most like you need to predefine area's of the pages that you will be editing, or be using a database to store content, if not your whole site. The DB used is MySQL in most cases, although sometimes ODBC can be used on some servers.
So mostly, redcircle was bang on, most scripts seem to be what he mentioned

Here is what looks like you want ;http://www.dixit.net/

I got that from here :http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Editing_Web_Pages/

thePHPresource index http://php.resourceindex.com/ ( and cgi: http://cgi.resourceindex.com/ ), hotscripts.com: http://hotscripts.com/ , and scourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=183
are about the best resources I've found.
Good luck, Sri2003!

mikmik is right, but there is a slightly easier way of doing it just using PHP and text files if mySQL is too much of a learning curve at this stage.

I've written a small PHP routine that allows me to edit various text files on the server. The contents of these text files are displayed on my webpage.

In my case I am displaying the text in a Flash movie, but using PHP you can easily display the contents of these files on a normal webpage (that's how the editing routine itself works).

If you aren't comfortable writing PHP script then mikmik's suggestions are probably the best - to find a content management system that does what you need.

Here a my suggestions when picking a CMS, they may be somewhat more involved than what you are looking for, but they might be worth a look. Both are free.
