Allow a user to change one line of a webpage?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 08.2008

I would like to construct a login page that would let an authorized user change what is displayed on a webpage.

For example:

One line of HTML = <span>We’ll be at the park Friday night</span>

I would like to allow someone to login, see a form field, enter the new text to be displayed between <span> </span> , click enter, and have the webpage updated and saved to show the new text so visitors to the site will see the update.

Can I use PHP to do this? And would someone please explain to me how it is done or point me to another online resource?

Thanks a lot. This is a great fourm!

Thanks.

look at php function such as fopen http://au2.php.net/fopen

Success!
