Creating a very simple CMS

Im creating (trying) an very simple CMS that basically has the ability to
, 'add/edit/delete' pages. The edit function requires a text box to edit a page and needs to be able to make text bold/italic/underlined and linked. I need to be able to first select the desired text, click (for example) the 'bold' button which applies the effect.

Any help/examples on how to go about this would be great. Also, how I might go about structuring the database for this.
Thanks[/b]

I good start might be:

Try out a few live freely availible php based CMSs :

http://www.opensourcecms.com will let you demo many of the most popular.

Then download the ones that interest you and have a peek at their source code.

Have a look through the Javascript found in the phpBB posting page, or at WYSIWYG editor such as TinyMCE and Fckeditor
