Hi, My first post here is a real newbie question. My friend and I are putting toghter a cms for a small e-commerce site and what we want the user to be able to do is: For a new product, add all info about the product (no problem with this) and specify a file name and submit the page. The problem we're having is understanding how to upload the new file to the server, and also getting it under the correct subfolder. Any help is much appreciated!
It sounds like you're trying to create static files on the server, which would usually require permission settings that could open up the site to attack - "world writable". I would encourage you to consider storing your content in a database, like most cms products do. I would also encourage you to not "roll your own" cms if you can help it. I've done so myself and I can tell you that unless you have a very good reason (I did) then you really should stay away from it and use one of the hundreds of ready-to-use cms options.
Thanks for you reply, much appreciated! I guess I'll go with dynamic pages and use mod_rewrite to get nice looking url's.
