PHP

I want to create a content management system in PHP. I am creating a fund raising website. I want administrator to have all the rights. Admin should be able to make changes in the header section, footer section and the content section of the page. I would like to execute this using object oriented programming approach. How can I do this?

Have you thought about using Drupal or similar to achieve your aims? The software is free and easily customisable to achieve exactly what you are looking for without having to code a CMS from scratch.

just a thought

Yes, I did think of using joomla, but, my project leader was not happy with it. He would be more happy to see me do the coding part from the scratch.

This is rather a big topic. Consider - at least - if not choosing a ready CMS, just looking at some of the code of the one. Do not reinvent the wheel. There should be something really that fits.

If you ask: how ? It would not be a one word answer. Plan things. Do a diagram, plan the database.

Maybe Wordpress then ?

Can you please explain me the use of this -> keyword in PHP

It is used in object oriented php (OOPHP) like this:

<?php

$obj = (object) array('foo' => 'bar', 'property' => 'value');

echo $obj->foo; // prints 'bar'
echo $obj->property; // prints 'value'

?>

Open in new window
