Hi, I am trying to make a page which allows my client to be able to log into my website, and edit one of their pages and would have a save button so it would change their edits onto their website. Is there any way that I could do this? I tried using the ftp functions, like fget, and fputs but I cant get it to work... All I am trying to do is have it connect with the ftp settings, and copy the file to my website. When they click save it will re-upload the file and put it back on their site. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to do this.. Thanks

You could add a script on your client's website that'll retrieve the source code of a page in their directory and display it in a textbox and download the changes when you call it from your PHP script on the login site.
Example: Retrieve the file from the client server and display it, when the client presses save, create a temporary file on your server with the contents of the edit, then call the script on the client's website to replace the file to be editted with the temporary file that was just created by the page editor, after the copy has completed, delete the temporary file and show a link to the new page.

Hope that works for you.

Ok, I just made something like that to take the file and copy it to my server. Any ideas on how to edit the page? I am messing around with javascript's innerhtml but havent got anything working yet. Thanks

hey jack,

I agree with justin. the best way is to create a client program on your customer's server. I've never tried it, but I'm pretty sure you could grab the source code of that file using CURL. And load it into a textbox, or display it into a div's innerhtml. Depending on the level of customization, you could easily use javascript to change predefined sections of the code and update the div innerhtml.

after your done, you could pass the entire page code back to a script on the clients server(using curl, or ajax), who's sole purpose is to take the the provided code and overwrite the existing file. Obviously you'll want to add some security to this script, like a authentication string or something.
