User text updates

[ckpro]

Hi, I am just starting out in php, is there an example of this code anywhere?

I would like to have a page where an end user could type some text in a form and have it displayed on their home page. This way they could make the text changes whenever they like and it would be all web based.

Thanks for any help

First: You are going to need either a flat file to store the text, or a database scheme like MySQL.

Second: Create an HTML form that posts to a page that writes the output to the flat file or to the database.

Third: On the user's home page, call the unique identifier from the file or DB and retrieve the contents.

There are a lot of factors that go into how you go about this, including whether you want to do it as a flat file or DB, how you are uniquely identifying the user, etc.... Too many variables to just put up some generic code, depending on your needs. In any respect, everything you want to do can be found in the MySQL and PHP manuals...

Thanks, I guess I will have to hit the books.
