    I was wondering if anybody knew of some code on how to update a website's contents, such as news, easily (no formatting and such) without having to develop a database-driven website? I want to make a webpage for the members to update the site without needing to understand the formatting to it though. They neter in simple text in a form (like this message board) and submit and the news contents of their site is automatically updated next time anybody uses it. Any ideas? Free please, of course.

      see the problem u have is that the data they enter has to be stored somewhere so it doesnt get lost ... databases are the most efficient way to do that ... files are just not good for that in the web environment there are a number of free db engines out there and building a simple cms is really very easy

        If you cant use a DB (although I would strongly recomend it) I would use XML files.. You can almost simulate a DB with the use of XML files if used properly.. I cannot provide any code for that coz my implimentations all use some sosrt of RDBMS, but I am sure that you can use XML. theJazzyBrain
