Hi,
I'm looking for a rudimentary PHP content management script that basically allows me to quickly create a website, simply by uploading the script and a bunch of articles either in txt or html file format.
The script should grab the articles, use their filenames or a specific marker in the article file (e.g. <title>this is the title</title>) and create the navigation out of it. Ideally the front page should have an extract of the first X lines or characters, or again a marker (e.g. <summary> </summary) to create the front page.
The whole script should have some sort of basic template engine integrated, so that the site design can be changed quickly.

I don't really want to have to deal with a database, using flat txt or html files as the article source would be great.

Any idea if such a script, or at least a script with some of this functionality, exists?

Cheers,
Steve

Chemoul, hope you don't mind me adding myself to the list... ?
I would love to hear if someone has this also

Why not just code one yourself? I mean it sounds piss easy to code, otherwise just go onto hotscripts.com and find one that does flat file databases and alter it

illusion, wish I could Spent way to much time digging in old design books and old dusty pergaments about bahaus graphic design and stuff like that...

but I guess I have to start coding eventually...

If I wasn't so busy, I would write this script for you guys.

I suppose you could modify that, simple search on Hotscripts

thanks for the replies so far.
The question is WHAT to search for on Hotscripts. I had a look for CMS and didn't get the results I was hoping for.

What about something like Wordpress? Seems to appear to be commonly used in this sort of situation.
