[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]I am in the early stages of my learning process w/ PHP and MySQL. I need a good alternative solution to updating an events page on a site I administer. Typically I am keying in changes to the HTML itself on this page via Dreamweaver. What I would like to do is create an HTML form that I can have on a secure page (I’ve got the user authentication stuff figured out) which I can use to update this event list. Basically only 2 fields, one for the title and one for the info. When I submit this info I would like to have it go to a table in my MySQL db, then have the events page update based on the info in the db. Any advice in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! - What would really be sweet is if I could use a form field similar to this one that I am composing this post in. Then I could update w/ HTML instead of just plain text. Any ideas on accomplishing that?[/size][/font] ---
