[RESOLVED] Is the best way to update content on a website to use SSI - Server Side Includes

cretam

I have 5 pages I want someone to be able to maintain without a full content management system - just change the text. Would the best way to do this be create a table with each page as a field - longtext and also an id or should I use SSI?

I'd go with includes, myself. You can easily include a text file in the body of an HTML document with little to no technical concerns. Provided your author has FTP access, they should be able to manage their pages very easily. If for some reason your author doesn't / can't have FTP access, it might be easier to use a protected directory and a submission form, but you still wouldn't need a database.

Thanks - I don't know much about SSI - got any suggestions where to find a good tutorial to help me do this.

It's ok - I found a good tutorial on includes when I did a search on SSI on the forum - http://www.tizag.com/phpT/include.php
Thanks.
