News Script

[Goober]

i want to create a php script that so multiple people (site Admins) can logon my site and add news to the news section of my site just by filling out a form. how can i do this? is there a way to do this without needing a mysql database? (or any kind of database). is there some kind of free software for download that will do what im asking for?

Hi,

I suggest you take a look at hotscripts.com (http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/News_Publishing/index.html) for ready made news-scripts.

If you want to build your own news-script try this (http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/25/1.php) tutorial at phpfreaks.com. It explains very basicly how to start at making your own news-system.

And of course: 'google is your friend'

Good luck!

What you need is an authorization system (that accepts only your admins or better to say ppl who are allowed to work with the news admin page) and also a news CMS. Writing it without a database? Of course, you can use text files, but then it's going to be very hard and the speed would be terrible! If you need such a script, I can give you mine. Just send me an email and I have something that at least works! (but it needs mysql)

Spoono has a great one (http://www.spoono.com). Its free and extremely easy to set up. It is located here http://www.spoono.com/spoonage/dls.php

It uses MySQL
