How to add content easily to a page?

Wings[SENSE] · Oct 14, 2011

Hey everyone,

I have a client who wants me to redesign his website but he also wants a little box on the main page where he can writes news daily (eg If the office is closed for the holiday, he wants to be able to write it in the designed box).

I'm only good at designing and I have no idea how to code this kind of thing. I thought maybe looking for a script is my best bet but I also have no idea how these works so it didn't really help me.

Basically my client wants something very easy to use like login somewhere, write what he wants, save/publish and it's done.

Any ideas on how to implement this?

Thanks a lot!!

hmm lets see the simplest way would be to make a directory called "secure" or something and then on the main page where the content is supposed to be put:

PHP:

<?php echo file_get_contents("secure/content.txt"); ?>

no go into "secure" and create a file called content.txt. Then right click the file and select something like "properties" or "permissions" and set permissions to 777. Now in the secure directory create a file called admin.php and add this to it:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Admin</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
  $fp = fopen('content.txt', 'w');
  fwrite($fp,$_POST['content']);
  fclose($fp);
  echo "<center>content has been saved</center><BR><BR>";
}
?>
<form action="admin.php" method="POST">
<textarea name="content" rows="100" cols="100"><?php echo file_get_contents("content.txt"); ?></textarea>
<BR>
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

now go into cpanel and password protect the "secure" directory. I just threw this together real fast for you and there could be errors. I haven't tested it but it should work.
