I run a site called Physicsguy's Reviews, and I would like to have a feature so that users do not have to email me when they have a review they want to have on my site. I want to make a form which you can fill out the title of the review, the actual review itself, and the author.

Then, when they click submit, the site adds to a database the information the user inputted. And it also adds a link to the user's submitted tutorial list to their page, but really it's a page called 'blank.php'. 'blank.php' is a half-completed page with instead of titles in the <title> tag, and instead of content it has a variable, like for the title - $titleofreview, content - $reviewcontent, and author - $reviewauthor.

'blank.php' calls on part of the database and fills it in with that information, and there's your review. I don't care if the filename is still 'blank.php', I can easily change that.

So here's what I need to know.

HOW THE HECK TO DO THIS!!??

I'm in the dark. I have no idea. I have the idea on how it works, but not the idea on how to actually make it...

I'm not asking for the straight code, but maybe an insight or tips - anything that could help is appreciated!! Thanks!

So....


.... you would like someone to write the basis of an entire CMS in a forum thread.

Why not simply use an existing CMS system? What you have outlined is EXACTLY what CMSs/Blogs do anyway.

I thought it would also work with a Wiki kind of thing...

Maybe I'll consider that...

Wordpress will be able to do exactly what you want. You could either allow users to create blog posts, or allow them to post comments on an already existing post.

You are also able to configure it to allow sending of emails to you once a new post or comment has been made.
