Re: Extreme newbie needs some guidance

assuming If I understand your query.... Why bother with php at all, if you looking for various admin options use some perl/cgi pre-written programs to solve your problems. there are a number of perl programs that will take care of your admin functions for news and updates(no database required)...all that's required of you is to change some path and file name information. Likewise there are perl programs that will manage the web site and manage mail etc. Go to cgi-resources.com...a ton of prewritten perl programs and most are freeware and the ones that are not maybe free to nonprofits.
