PHP site modification

Hello! I am coding a site that has a section with articles on it. Every now and then, the owner wants to be able to log-into an admin section and modify these articles. I think php should be able to do this, on the lines of the article being included in a external file, say "article1" <text format> and and a <? include 'article1'; ?> for the body of the page. The html formatting can be done outside as it doesn't need to change. My main problem is creating the sript for the administrator page, it needs to: a- read the article1 file (and any other file necessary b-allow the user to modify (maybe in forms?) c-save the changes to the article1 file

Thanks!

Be aware that the storage of data in files isnt real save, unless you store it in protected directories. If you have the opportunity to use a database, it is far more suitable for you situation.

Thanks! I'll do my best to use PHP file functions; setting up a database on our servers is a real pain in the neck! There are forms on forms to fill! Michele
