    Hello,

    I have a guestbook on my site. And if someone enters a message, the
    MYSQL database is updated. At my host i have a phpadmin control panel
    And i can delete and manage the content of this database.

    But now, i would like to create a php page for someone else to log in
    And have a very simple layout to manage his messages.

    I really have no idea how to begin, because i have very little knowledge of php script. Is there by any change an application or an existing php script
    that can communicate with mySQL database and edit the content of it?

    You need a content management system.

    Search google for Joomla.

    I search for it and looked what kind of CMS it is, but it is way
    to big. I just need one php page, that reads the mySQL database
    and that the owner can edit this.

    Isn't there a php script for this?

    Try the PHP section of HotScripts. If you can't find what you're after in there you probably can't find it anywhere.. ;) But you'll definitely find a guestbook to suit your needs.

    for such a small simple task you may be just as well creating your own.

    Just drag the information from the db, post the result into a html form then when the form is submiited update the db.

    If you are new to php and looking to learn it this would be a good start point the php manual has good information in it. it is only a matter of a few lines of code.

    its very easy to do that. Make sure you program a good authentication system. I am sure you wouldnt want someone opening the script page url and messsing.
