Using php, how would I edit the contents of a section of an html page permanently?

gosox345 · 05-10-2009, 02:07 AM

so basically i have a text box and command button on my web page, I want to make it so that when i click the command button, it makes the contents of a <div> (which is located on a separate page) equal to the contents of the text box (and vice versa so when the text box loads its equal to the contents of the div). How would I do that? Im designing a website for a historical district that needs to be able to update their meeting minutes and their schedule and such onto the web at an instant.

thanks!

You got to use a database for that. You store the content of the textbox in a field in the database and than you query the database and display the content of that field in your <div>.
It's basic.

If you are not familiar with any programing languages I recommend that you make use of one of the many open source Content Management Systems out there. They will handle most of the work for you!

Take a look at TinyMCE if you want to build something on your own! Great start for an custom build CMS.
