Question

I’ve built a website for a friend and because he is not very techy and will be updating it relatively often.

My question is is there a way I can update the site using say, a PHP form and that will write a new div into the page?

So in standard english it would be the following:

• Enter title
• Enter date
• Enter poster
• Enter content
• Submit

Can I do that simply in PHP? I’m open to other suggestions as well.

Thanks a lot!

I highly suggest you “Inplace Editing”

• http://code.google.com/p/jquery-in-place-editor/

The user has only to point and click on elements which he want to change. Plain simple… It’s on you to implement an basic authentication system so that only the Owner of the Page is allowed to edit and save Data.
