Hi All
Could anyone please point me in the right direction for open source standard CMS WYSIWYG html editor written in PHP.

I don't need a mySQL database driven CMS as I only need to change simple small site html pages.

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Thanx

Ray

    Written in PHP? I think you'd rather it run on the client, and hence be written in Javascript; otherwise whoever's doing the editing will have to sit around and wait for the entire request-response transaction with the server to be completed everytime they change anything. A lot of threads here (according to a use of the search engine this forum comes with) suggest looking at HTMLarea

      Thanks for your reply. I've had a brief look at HTMLarea it has some limitations like uploading files. However will try it again.

      Many thanks for your reply. I've spent the last 2 days searching the web and although there are some good CMS systems written in php most require mysql - this would be overkill for the site I'm building.

      Thanks

      Ray

        This may be a false economy: there is plenty of overhead involved in maintaining content that is masked by using a DBMS: without one of those the extra maintenance would need to be handled by something else. Besides, it might be a small site now, but if it grows later - or you want to use the same technology for something larger - the transition could be painful.

        As a compromise, a text-file-based DBMS might be convenient - one I know of is - hang on, I know Google has this ... ah - PHP-TxtDBb API.

          Thank you so much Weedpacket. You're right I should be looking more into the future. I will download your suggested package and have a play.

          Once again really appreciate your help
