php script needed to edit simple php pages from a website

Question

I have done a simple website for my client. All pages are php even if some are static and do not have scripts.

My client will have to change the content of pages online. I need a WYSIWYG editor that will allow my client to edit pages [b]BUT without editing the php scripts[/b] that may be included.

I do not need a FULL CMS like joomla, but a simple WYSIWYG online editot that can handle PHP pages.

regards

ah the joy of large changes in requirements part-way through a project. Even if you don't need all the functionality a full CMS might still be sensible in this case. If this is not possible I think you're looking at a fair bit of custom development. Maybe keep your editable content in separate files, read-in by php and edited by TinyMCE? Trying to edit PHP scripts without allowing access to the PHP sounds like a pita — tomfumb

IMO, this question should not be tagged as Delphi. I did take liberty and added the PHP tag myself. — Chris Thornton

I've had good success using WordPress. I have PHP scripts embedded on the page that pulls articles from a WordPress database. The user creates content in WordPress, uses tags and categories to control where those articles appear on the site (which page, or which frame within the page). The PHP then uses some simple SQL to pull the content and display.

Update: Here is the tutorial that taught me how: http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website

And here is a SO discussion, which leads to the same page: Embedding wordpress into a php page

As much as I hate to say it... depending on your cost/expense/budget thus far, your simplest solution might actually be to go the route of... Contribute (gags a little) but hey it's true.

You could "tag up" your template code relatively easily which would allow them to use Contribute to manage the static content inside your php scripts. Since Contribute is aware of PHP's presence, it should help prevent them from breaking the site by changing things in a text editor or other wysiwyg editor.

The other option I'd suggest would be to go the route of looking into something like TinyMCE editor and building a "wrapper" php script for editing. The wrapper would be given the page to edit, it would then load the page directly via the file system and allow the user to edit the "content blocks" in that page which could be specified via a delimiter/tag you use like .

Those are just a couple "quick fix" options to get you what you want with the minimum amount of rewriting/modification needed.
