simplest idea ever:  
user goes to page, previous information is in the “edit” window-  
user makes changes and “saves”

that’s it- no security, no multiple pages, nothing tricky

is there a simple script for this?  
I’m no good at PHP so please point me in the right direction-

Thanks!

I’m assuming you have sql on your server?

**My** SQL 😉

The page will also have to **display** the information dynamically loaded from the database.

It’s simple, as you said, but I can’t be bothered explaining it now 😛

Not sure if it’s against the rules to post a link to another forum (if it is, just delete this post), but go to this forum…

word  
I have MySql and I don’t need/ want to use it for this  
plus it would be pretty silly to overcomplicate things to use it for such a simple project.  
this should only take about 6 lines of code. when I write it I’ll post it here!  
🙂
