Solve : NEWBIE HELP!! Forms.?

Answer»

I am trying to create a staff control panel for my website so that certain staff can log in and modify areas of the website.

If i create a text box how do i make the results change the html of the page or at LEAST be displayed on the WEBPAGE publically?

Thanks in advanceShort Answer: PHP.

Longer Answer: Use a PHP page (which means you have to be running PHP on your webserver) to take the content of the page and add it to a database.  When you create the HTML file, you collect all the database entries to create the page.

OR

Have each ENTRY into the text box be saved as a new HTML file and when you build the page, just recursively include them all and you've got it all.

Longest answer: I'm not going to take that much time yet.

The problem I have with this is that you want to do something that could open you up to a LOT of security issues.  If you don't even know where to start to DO this, I don't think it's a smart idea to PLUNGE ahead, unless it's a private website that can't be accessed from the internet.

To answer you, finally: Form + PHP + MySQL = "BLOG" - type page
