Is it possible to make a script that will update a page automatically?

[WarDemon666]

Im making a site for my uncle, and he wants to be able to add some text and images to a page without knowing html. Some kind of database that he can edit, change the text and add a new picture, and the site will change automatically. (with the script)

is this possible? and is there a script like this already out there?

Thanks!
Carl

Your question is a little open ended. There's a zillion possibilities for what you want to do... I'd suggest learning some php

blogger?

or if you're hosting the site somewhere, you can also try movable type as well as some others (wordpress, etc)

Not sure if it 100% fits the bill but I use NewsPHP. It's a PHP based customisable news script. You can alter all the templates etc so it fits with his web site theme. Adding an update is as simple as logging in, typing the update and pressing 'Submit'.

Of course he'd need to be able to run PHP scripts on his site to us it....

I know a little php, made a "geocities" type site a while back, its been a while though! lol.

I dont have time to work on a script for him, the page that should be updated by him will be the "Promotions" page where he can put new items on the page and put a special price on it, but he doesnt know html or anything, so...

Ill check out the programs you guys mentioned...

But I dont only want text, I would like images too, and it all has to be centered right, or else its not going to look good...

Anyways,
Thanks!
Carl

I think that the script I linked too would be ideal.

But to add images it might be harder, because there is no upload thing, id have to teach him to upload pictures to the server, and then show him how to link it with the img tag?
