Updatable webpages

[saintflashx]

I know of websites that are designed to enable the client to update the copy or images for themselves simply by use of a browser. They may enter, for example, www.mydomain.com/admin, log in and edit. Could you tell me how this is set up?

Thanx!

For this you are going to need a server-side script; ASP, PHP or CGI/Perl.

Basically what happens is the user performs edits in a <textarea> or other form element. This is 'posted' to the server-side script, which in turn rewrites the HTML page to be changed.

I don't know of a specific script, but a search for free scripts will probably yield something you can work with.
