HELP!!! ..updating content via a database

tottigol

hi,

i have a website that i am designing in a group for a uni project,we are really behind and need some help with some coding as i dont have vast experience with php.

I have got a admin section of the website which the company needs to update/change content etc.
The problem is i need to update content via a color picker,which allows them to choose background color,font color,links color etc..
The data input needs to be sent to the database where the changes will be made,then the public can see these changes when they visit the site..

Can someone please help me with the coding to link to the database and anything else related or missing that i might need...

thankyou , sorry for the drawn out story..

kyle.

you might want to take a look at something like fckeditor which should help you with the color selection feature your after. as for the rest...

we dont do coding for people. were here to help, not code. if you have a specific problem, post your code.
