Are you aware of any software either on mac or PC that lets a single person easily manage 100+ websites? Mainly say I made a change to 100 websites. I would then like to update all the pages on 100 different ftp servers with a click of a button. I am sure there is something like this out there, just now sure what.
Depends on exactly what you mean by "control".... generally the easiest way is to have CMS installed using a common db across the sites so that shared components only require a single entry in a db to be altered
The only way I can think of doing this is using a database to output the data rather than hard-coding pages.
When I have something that can change on many sites I usually use a php include. This way I just edit the page that is included and it automatically is changed on all sites that call the included page. Re's Rob Whisonant
Yeah as Rob said the best way to do what *I think* you are trying to do is use php includes for certain parts of the pages. A simple example would be say you want all your sites to share a list of links you would have a php include for www.whatever.com/linkslist.php and linkslist would just be a nice html list of links you could easily edit. Now if you're looking for a program that would upload to a variety of directories thats a different story.
i think its only possible with one common database means a single database sharing one each site cheers
yes a single database is a good way. and you change the looking of each site but It's also possible to have many databases, and synchronize them with a communication tool
