Can anybody help, simple news script
Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2007 8:29 pm
ok i was wondering if you could help.
i want a simple news script, and when i mean simple i mean simple lol.
i want it to be php, i dont want to use a database, heres the features i need:
i want it to write to flat files
i want a seperate page for adding the news via a form, 2 fields: title and content
i dont want it password protected as it will be in a seperate protected area anyway
i want to export it via a simple include statment (or something along those lines)
heres what i want it for.
on a page im making i have a menu on the left and a little news section below it, to the right is the content.
all i want it to look like is this:
Menu
home
contact
etc
etc
News
heading
news here news here news here
heading
news news news news
nothing fancy really, i know how to use flat files and i know some php, but i dont know how to use a form to edit the flat file so thats where you come in if you feel like helping me
maybe you know of a script already?
ive searched and searched for something as simple as this but they either use databases or have features like:
password protected admin area
comments
etc
all i want the form to do is edit the flat file, so i would type in:
breaking news (heading)
this is breaking news
and another line
and another &
if possible i would like the form to automatically convert that to html so it would export like:
maybe not the & if that would be trouble.
i hope you understand what i mean as im stuck lol
thanks alot.
