Edit page from another page!

[philosophology]

I want to have a page that lets me edit other pages.
A long time ago I stumbled accross a page of code that did this, unofrtunetly I cannot remember how.
I think what it did was that on the first page it declared a variable for example EditVariable then on the second page it would send the stuff that needed to be added to the first page and put it in EditVariable and then it was showed by a simple echo. Is this possible? how else can I do it? I just need to add stuff, no deletion or anything.

Thanx

grab the contents of the page you want to edit as a string using [man]file_get_contents[/man]. then stck that string into a form field for editing (i would suggest using a textarea). then when the form is submitted write the string back to the file using [man]fopen[/man] and [man]fwrite[/man].

A little suggestion about the textarea... use the htmlentities() function to echo the HTML from the page you want to edit to avoid </textarea> (if there's one in that page) to close the textarea containing the page code. Also, having < and > inside a HTML code isn't a good idea! They will be converted to &lt; and &gt;

Hope this helps.
