file database application? (CMS)

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

file database application? (CMS)

Post by devork »

Hi guys!
I am looking for an php/mysql web based application (CMS) that can support the file uploads, and maintain their database.
it's actually for my teachers so that they can upload the latest notes on that application and my class mates can easily download the related notes according to subjects.
just like sourceforge is keeping the databases of all the open source projects.

thanx

Correct me if I'm wrong,
but as far as I know, a CMS is a Content Management System, which is way too much to accomplish as small a task as you are describing. What you need is a simple uploading script.

If you want to put it into a database, as opposed to keeping it as a file in default format (.doc, .rtf, .txt, etc..) then you need to extract the contents (or input as string), and put it to the db.

I know this was probably not as helpful as you hoped it would be, but I wanted to mention my point about the CMS. If you are looking for scripts that I am describing above, try searching sites like http://www.hotscripts.com

Yours,
Fjook!
