Description

phpWebEd is an online content editing system for PHP-driven Webpages. You can edit the contents of your Webpage from everywhere in the world with just a Webbrowser and you don't need any special knowledge of HTML-Code!

Requirements

PHP3/4 enabled Webserver
Browser with Javascript and Cookie-Support to edit the pages

Installation

Unzip "phpwebed-xyz.zip" to your webserver.
Set the permissions rw-rw-rw- (666) to the files "config.inc.php", "logins.txt" and all files within "contents". The "contents" directory must have the permission rwxrwxrwx (777).
Go to "phpwebed/setup.php" to configure phpWebEd for your server.
Add the following code to every page you want to edit:

<html>
<head>
...
<body>
...
<?
include("<path_to_phpwebed>/config.inc.php");
content("<unique_title_1>");
?>
...
<? content("<unique_title_2>");?>
...
</body>
</html>

Please see also "example1.php" and "example2.php".
Rename your HTML documents with above lines in it from filename.html to filename.php so that the server renders the PHP-Code.

Using phpWebEd

With your webbrowser go to "phpwebed/index.php" on your server and login. Remember you must have cookies enabled. Now navigate through your website and you should see some small images showing a pen on the pages that you have prepared for phpWebEd. Figure the rest out yourself and have fun!
