Users adding content

[SLMHC]

I would like my users to be able to enter data into forms which would then be automatically placed in a table. I would present the user with a form (cgi script?), user would enter the data, press a button and the data would show up on the correct page in a table with my css style elements.

Without going to a full blown CMS is this possible?

It is for a fantasy baseball league i am in, and it is hard to keep up with all the stats that are generated. I would like to keep the other players out of my style elements and just let them add the content.

Yes. It is possible without going to a full-blown CMS.

You will have to use some sort of server-side scripting, however. Do you have access to any server-side scripting?

I do. I have ssi, cgi and php avaiable to me.

Since last night i have started this task using php & mysql.

I am able to write to my DB and output the data.

One thing i would like to do is wrap a variable with another variable. ie. users enter data into 2 fields, Name & URL.
I then output the data with the Name being a link(from URL Field). i try to add href tags to the script and it breaks. im not sure on the syntax.

I'd take this up in the PHP and/or MySQL forums.

Hope this helps,
