posting to main site page through an 'admin' section.

[psyber]

I'm starting up a new site and want an 'admin' section that I can login to which will allow me to post articles/images to the main page. We'll have multiple people authoring the site and this will be the easiest and most convenient way to do it. I've seen other sites that have done this with php before, but I don't know where to start. I've looked at programs like postnuke, but they didn't give us as much control of the layout of the site without a LOT of work. Is there something out there that i can add to an existing site design fairly easily without having to redo everything from the ground up?

I don't know anything about postnuke (or any other pre-made package)... I build my own stuff. But, this is pretty simple to do... and would be a good way for you to learn PHP.

Simply setup a db to hold your data, setup one script that takes input from a form and inserts it into the db (you'll want to make people login to this). Then write some code for your site that grabs the data out of the db and displays it.

thanks for the advice! i can probably figure it out from here, i just needed to know how to basically get it done. I'll be back if I have more questions. 🙂
