Basic PHP content management system
I am looking for a script or PHP app that has a login admin area where the owner of the website can paste in content from a word doc and have it propagate to a specific web page. I am picturing something like a rich text editor with a submit button and then the given web page is updated.
Right now they have something like this in Cold Fusion but I need to redo it with PHP.
So I am not looking for specfic code here, just a link in the right direction maybe for a prewritten / coded solution.

If you looking for a 3 step process script like: login, edit page, save page, just learn how to make your own. They are VERY simple.
fopen(); -- Opens file or URL
copy(); -- Copies file
delete(); -- deletes file(also unlink();)
file_get_contents(); -- Reads entire file
fwrite(); -- write to a file
fclose(); -- Closes an open file
See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php for more information.

Cool, I see there are 547 Content Management scripts. That should give me a good start. Thanks! -- DanWeb Dummy wrote:try hotscripts then

I personally use FileWizard from http://www.c-security.org/filewizard
It works very well and is very easy to use

Try Mambo at http://www.mamboserver.com - very easy to install, set up and quite extensible. Has a very nice GUI as well. However, I found it's only good for smaller websites - if you need to change the underlying code, you'll be in for a bit of a nightmare. There are some good ideas (e.g. in the db-class), but a lot of so-called classes have methods that mix PHP and HTML; there is only limited abstraction going on.
If you want a quick & easy solution, Mambo should be your choice. If you want something which is extremely powerful, and very versatile, but has a very steep learning curve, look into CMS like ezPublish or Typo3.
You can evaluate a host of CMS at http://www.opensourcecms.com - already installed and ready for a test run. Saves you a lot of trouble.
Btw.: most CMS nowadays use some flavour of an online WYSIWYG editor based on Javascript (htmlarea, tinyHTML etc.) which allows a client to very cut'n paste any Word-documents into them and see the content online immediately
