editable website content?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

So when building a site, how does one make it so that the owner can easily edit the content?

Is it php and can I teach it to myself or should I just not and save myself a headache?

What exactly are you trying to do?

Well I meant like... making it so one could go in and edit your content on the web instead of having to reupload the entire pages, etc.

Its pretty much a moot point now though, I don't need it for what I'm doing. :lol just ignore me I'm crazeeee!

It technically can be PHP. But, saying it's just PHP is kind of silly. PHP is a programming language. I mean, you couple PHP code with a database and voila, you now have some sort of queryable, modifyable something.

You're looking for something existing, though. A content management system (CMS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system).

Joomla, PHPNuke, etc. will get the job done.

It usually helps understanding some PHP to deal with them; but, it's not necessary, really. Just read the guides and such created by their respective communities.
