Hey, I'm new, and not a total genious on PHP. I'm more into HTML, but I was wondering if I could somehow allow users on my website to post news on the homepage. Such as letting a member post something that will appear on that page. Thanks, and if this can't be done, thanks for trying.

Just make a table on a database(I reccomend MySQL) and make form for them to add it and another script to display it. It's not hard. Read this tutorial http://www.mkaz.com/reference/php/db/start.html it will tell u how to make a database, insert the date, view it and manage it.

i wrote a script exactly like u described but with alot more features (my first big php/MySQL fling actually) but if your not looking to learn how php works, there are a TON of of these free scripts. However, if you do wish to learn how to do it yourself, its very much so doable.

good luck
