I need help creating a blog for a flash website. My server has PHP support, but I do not have mySQL support. So I was thinking of updating the blog using a text file. Only problem is, I have NO CLUE where to start haha

What I need is:

1. An update page to add new posts to the blog, with a text editor on this page to make text bold, italic, etc. This can either be a PHP page or a Flash page, but whatever it is, it needs to save the data to a text file.

2)A flash movie to display the text file. This movie needs to display the 4 most recent blog posts, with the most recent post at the top.

I need help writing the PHP script to handle the data, creating the text editor, & making the appropriate actionscript to display the text file. I know this is a really huge request, but I will appreciate any help you can give me!
