Edit Page Live on Website

Hey guys,
I tried posting this thread in Client-Side thinking the solution was Javascript. However doing some reading it looks like I need to use PHP. I need to allow a single page on an HTML site to be edited allowing a user to add/edit news.

Things I need to accomplish:

  • Allow user to login to a page (even if just with a password)
  • Let user edit a single page
  • No use of database or CMS
  • Self contained, not requiring extensive server technology (now able to alter permissions)

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would most appreciate it. I found this page (onlinetools.org/articles/editablepages_all.php), which sounded like it was what I needed. The problem was that the sample didn’t even work, so needless to say my page didn’t work either.

Thanks!
