Making your own CMS

[gnoogle]

I'm making my own CMS and have some quiestions. I'm using the tutorial at Macromedia on how to make a blog and want to make my own CMS. Kind of like what you have here when you make a new thread. In the tutorial the suggest a program\plugin for Dreamweaver that you have to buy. Now I don't want to pay for it so I want to make my own. Can some one please help me?

May I ask what does your question have to do with PHP?
Help you with what exactly?
Making a CMS? That's a huge topic.

Yeah, making a CMS is a VERY complicated undertaking, and is not at all a newbie task. There are literally dozens (hundreds?) of CMS out there that are available for free under the GPL or a similiar license. I'd recommend seeing what CMS was used for your favorite site(s)--it usually says somewhere on the bottom of the page or on the 'about this site' page--and googling for that to learn how to download the source code for it.

You may try with joomla at http://joomla.org a good start to learn about CMS.
