simple updating news page?
Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 2:12 pm
So I'm designing a company's web page and they would like a news page that's easy for them to update.
Ultimately what I'd like to give them is two pages. One that lists the 5 most recent headlines of news stories and links to a page with the full story, and another page that does the same thing, except lists every headline. What I'm looking for is a way I can code my page so that my client can simply create a news story in only one document, save it to a folder called "news" or similar on the FTP, and have both listing/link pages automatically display it's headline and link to it. Would this be possible using PHP? If so, can you give me any advice on how I would accomplish this?
thanks
