Store each paragraph text in a database

Table 1 = tblPage
id Name
1 Welcome Page
2 About Page
Table 2 = Content
id pageid content
1 1 This is some content in a paragraph
2 1 This is some more content
3 1 This is the last content on this page
4 2 Some about content

Then when you display your page you pass the page id through the URL like:

http://www.domain.com/page.php?pageid=1

// get the page id of course do some validating is_numeric etc
$id = $_GET['pageid'];

// using pear db package
$res =& $db->query ( "SELECT * FROM tblContent WHERE pageid = '".$id."'" );

// loop through data and display it with an edit link
while( $res->fetchInto( $objData ) )
{
echo "<p>".$objData->content."<a
href=\"edit.php?pageid=".$objData->od."\">Edit</a></p>";
}

Your edit page would then have some code that would load the content into a
text area or wywsiwig editor or something .... You would then also have to
add functionality where a user could add a paragraph and what order you
would want those paragraphs to show up in, delete paragraphs.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [PHP] Adding links to HTML for a CMS

Hi,

I am trying to create my own CMS. To being with I want to let users edit
anything within a <p> tag.

I want to have a menu to the left and display the webpage in the rest of the
page, and for each set of <p> tags I want the user to be able to click on
the link to edit that paragraph.

My problem is how can I include a webpage in my CMS and for each <p> tag
wrap an <a href""> tag araound it?

Thanks for your advice.
