Hi all,

I'm working on a project with a LOT of non-techies and I'm spending a lot of my day updating our website with their minor changes.

I've seen (somewhere) a routine/program/?? that would open, read, and display a text file on the person's webpage without intervention from a techie.

Any ideas how to do this or maybe point me to an application that will do this.

There's a LOT of info but I haven't been able to find that specifically.

Thanks all for whatever help you can be.

john

You'll need to use a server-side language like PHP to do that. HTML is not dynamic and cannot "think" for itself. PHP offers the include() function to do this. It's easy to use and a great way to start learning PHP.

Thanks,

I was hoping to avoid that and keep it simple.
