Opinions??

I'd like to get some opinions on this.

I have been working on a less invasive way for my hosting clients to update thier websites without using FTP or having to know anything about HTML or Server Side.

Since most of my website and hosting client's don't know much about either I've come up with this.

THE PROBLEM: How non-computer friendly people can update information blocks on thier website.

SOLUTION: Say the client wants to update the "aboutus" box on their page. The would go to a secure webpage that would have a form like this. UPDATE PAGE (http://www.usmr-rep.com/working/update.html)

Then the information block on the website would automaticly be updated like this SAMPLE BOX UPDATE (http://www.usmr-rep.com/working/infobox.html)

Go ahead and try it...The file deletes the previous contents and enters the new content each time.

It's been done before but it's still nice :)

Good work.

Looks good to me. I'm assuming you would have separate fields for different parts of a formatted "about us" page, and that the action for the submit button would also send the user to the updated page, rather than leave him/her looking at the page that was just submitted.

Yeah, the actual one will be much prettier.

I'm actually working now on modifying the PHP script to recognize which INFO box the user wants to update.
