creating a self updating news page in php

[matleeds]

Hi there,

i've had the follwoing request and would like to know if it's at all possible in php (and if it is - how?).

i want to create a self updating news page (for a website) with simple text entries, maybe date, headline, content. what would be ideal is if the page wrote to a text file (server side) rather than a database as my client doesn't have database facilities.

the pages:
1. public page for people to view entries
2. admin page, update and delete entries.

what do you think, is this at all possible?

thanks,

Mat

Yes.

Probably a tad easier with a db, but with a basic grasp of filesystem commands and date functions, only a medium sized problem, depending on the scale.

Good luck 🙂 !!
