Hi all,

I am newbie on Programming, now, I self-learning build web site.

I want to ask, do PHP can make a user base (only need this user name and password, without database manage like mysql etc, since my web host don't provide a database like mysql etc for me to development the web site) update web site without database?

My need is very simply, just need make a page for this user login, and then enter some text base content with some photo and some text control like , [ul][li][/li][/ul] etc for the text position etc. and then update and add the text to the page. Of course, the user can del the post and change the content as need in future too.

I want to ask, do anyone know how to do like this? or where can find the example PHP code, and the keyword of like this search is what?

Sorry of my poor English

thx for your time to read my post :-)

Try looking for forum software that uses flat files as the database. UBB is perl but flat files.

Hello,

If you can't use a database, you could use text files. (That would be your search term for more material: "PHP text files".) Here is a tutorial on working with PHP and text files:

If security is an issue, think about changing hosts to one that provides database support. At the very least, make sure you keep the text files out of your web space. If your document root is /home/user/public_html, don't keep the text files in public_html or any subdirectory.

Good luck!

If you can't run a database server, you may take a look at SQLite:
