XML Content Syndication And Content Management System
I have several folders of news stories in XML format on my server running PHP, MySQL, apache. What's the best way to dynamically grab the xml files and display them? Is there an existing news content management system that would allow me to specify which XML stories I want displayed? Allowing me to QC news stories and approve/ban them via an admin screen?

Content Management
I've been looking a bit at PHP-based Content Management Solutions (CMS), including Midgard, PHPNuke, etc.

Has anyone dealt with these, and what do you find better in re. functionality, implementation, ect.?

We have a situation where we would have only about 4-5 content editors, with tasks like updating job postings, occasionally editing product info, adding new press releases, etc. Nothing terribly advanced.

Content Management
Does any one know a good content managment script written in PHP that would allow users to submit content like articles news and even blogs to my web site via remote computers through a web browser?

It would have to be user friendly (the users may not now how to code) and include imput areas for content such as:

Article Title:
Authors Name:
Article content:
Image:

It would also have to be be customisable on my own templates.

Content Management
I am trying to create a content managment system for my news section. Basically I just want a simple way to add new stories, then have older stories move down the page, and after a set amount of new stories are ahead of it move to another page, which will be linked in "<<prev 1 2 3 4 next>>" dynamically as new stories are added. Kinda like a blog but much much more simple.

I really have no idea where to start. I know some php, but mostly just what i pick up from this forum (thanks)and tutorials. If someone could point me in the right direction, or enlighten me on where to start, suggest a good tutorial, suggest another way to go about this, etc.. Any info at all would really be great.

Content Management With PHP
I have almost 1000 entries on a table in a MySQL DB. What I want to do is to display items from a row, depending on the URL.

For Example, I want this url:
http://localhost/players.php?lookup=23

to display certain attributes set into the table (ID,Firstname,Lastname), etc.

I'm using the following code for http://localhost/players.php?lookup=23 and it's not working: Code:

Content Management System.
I’m looking for a content management systems, PHP based and MySQL driven. I already checked for Mambo and Typo3. But which systems are good and which are bad? I heard a lot of bad things of Mambo concerning security problems. On the other hand Typo3 is not that easy to learn and is very complex. All suggestions are welcome.

Content Management System For PHP
I would like you advise on the best freeware Content Management
System for PHP scripting. Something that is suited to a larger site and can look after navigation well including breadcrumbs navigation ...

Content Management System
I would like to write a CMS in php for my sites.
My question is: where can i find the guidelines for building a good
cms?
In other words, what is the phylosophy of a cms? Which is its
strcture? Where can i find an example of a class hierarchy for a cms?

Which Content Management System
I am already using PHP Nuke as CMS.
I think to change it.I heard about good things about Xoops ,
What do you suggest ?

Content Management System
I know what it is, and yet the knowledge of what a CMS is, is so vague
that I find myself asking this question every now and then. I've
googled and read the resources too. However, the knowledge is still not
clear. It is so vague.

Me: Just what is a content management system?

Myself: A place where content can be stored.

Me: OK. So, then what's a file system?

Myself: That's not web-based. File-Systems are desktop-based.

Me: You can have a file-system on a common network server. I can even
have a network server and give remote access to people over a VPN. I
can host content on a terminal server, I can give them VNC clients, or
an RDP client, and let them browse what they want to.

Myself: How will they know "where" to find what?

Me: Come again?

Myself: With all those avenues you mentioned, you won't publish
content. There will not be a taxonomy. You will just be dumping files
on another remote server. How will the users "find" what they want?

So, is a CMS all about:

1. Taxonomy
2. Publishing content in a Web based format

Me: What about binary objects that cannot be published in HTML?

Myself: Yeah! What about them, dude? Use your head. What about them?
Heard of a hyperlink? Heard of HTTP? FTP? No?

Me: OK. I get it. But...I *still* don't get it, man. Why did we need
this? More importantly, where are the boundaries? I believe CMS also
lets users edit and publish content on-the-fly.


So, again, where are the boundaries? What about non-public content?
What about access rights? Do you have seperate users on CMS's having
their seperate folders as well, where they could put their own private
content? Or, is the idea behind CMS about "sharing" and so they put
only that which they need to share and not the private stuff.

Do CMS's also allow access rights or authorization levels *per*
resource/file/unit of content that is uploaded on to them? Or, are they
role-based - e.g all users of this group will be able to access all
files, and users of that group will have read-only access to this
website.

Looking For A Php Content Management System
I'm sorry for the long post, but I think it's better if I'm as detailed as I
can be so that I don't make a mistake in my choice and so that there's a
clear understanding of to what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for a content management system to use on a site
(http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com) that I help to moderate. Unfortunately
(as I have discovered), there are literally hundreds of CMS's to choose
from, so I am understandably confused. However, I would appreciate it if
anyone will be able to recommend a good one based on the criteria I'm going
to give.

In order of priority, the criteria are:

1. Ease of use involving minimal manual intervention. What I would like is a
system where once someone has posted an article and editors have approved
it, it gets published not only to a main 'articles' page but parts of it
(e.g. a link to it with the subject in the title) *automatically* get
published wherever we would like these parts to be published.

For example, currently, we get people to publish articles using Blogger.
Unfortunately, it means that once the article is approved, we still have to
manually insert the link to our front-page and sidebars to our messageboard
using PHP include statements.

See the sidebar on the following page for examples:
http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/board.

What we would like is an article management system that would publish
articles to an articles page and also populate the front page and sidebars
automatically.

2. Integration with existing message board and site. I would like a
situation where the content management system would sit side by side with an
existing vBulletin messageboard we already have so that we can show
part of the content on the same page as the messageboard (as I have
described above). It would be nice if we could also cause parts of the
article to appear on other parts of the site as well.

3. Ease of import of previously published articles: I have already mentioned
above that we already have some articles published using Blogger. We would
not want to lose these, so it would be great if there was a
mechanism for importing these articles into the content management system
with minimal manual intervention.

4. Ease of composition: We would like people writing articles not to need to
be masters of html to compose articles for submission to our site. Ideally,
we would like them to be able to paste their articles directly into the
composition window provided by the content manager from a rich text format
application like Microsoft Word without losing their formatting. Failing
that, it would be nice if the content manager provided a simple markup
language that allowed for basic formatting, with the option of html
formatting if the article writer wanted to do something really complex.

5. Article rating. We would like people reading the articles to be able to
rate them. It would be nice if we could configure the rating system so that
we could choose the range of points to be awarded.

6. Good portal system: We would like to have a front 'portal' page with an
index to the latest articles (with a "more articles" link that will direct
readers to more articles the main articles page). We would also like to have
links to other sections of the website where we would post news,
entertainment and other stories.

7. Comments and Login Integration with Vbulletin. Again, we want to have the
ability to integrate with our vbulletin board in such a way that members who
are already registered do not need to register again before posting comments
to articles.

I am assuming that because our existing site is based on PHP, the CMS should
be PHP-based as well.

I would be extremely grateful if you could point me in the direction of a
CMS that would meet most if not all of these requirements.

Content Management And Caching
I use PEAR Cache to cache the frontend pages of a content managed web site.
Now I update the contents of a page, and of course the updated contents will
only be displayed after the expiring period of the cached file.

After thinking and googling a lot I see several possible approaches to for
handling this, each of which has it's downsides:

- Use a very short expiring period. (Downside: Makes caching only relevant
at very high visitor frequencies.)

- Change database, add modification date to every record - and compare
creation date of cache files with modification dates of contents. (Huge
overhead; must first detect which tables and records the page uses at all.)

- Flush cache everytime an admin page is called, or within the insert,
update, publish etc functions. (Empties whole cache also if only a comma is
changed.)

- Provide an "flush cache" button for the administrator to use after
finishing changes. (Administrator will forget it.)

What Is The Best Content Management System?
There are a few in Perl and PHP, with MySQL or without and either in
Mod_Perl or not in.

I have heard mason, but it does not have any demo site, but claims, AMAZON
is using it.

I also like PostNuke, but then there is a sister product caled PHPNuke

I am looking for something simple but with a lot of plug-ins. I will not use
many features, but like to have BBS/Forum and Classified Ads. I want it
simple, because I need to rewrite a lot of codes to include my current Perl
program.

What is my best choice?

PHP Portal/Content Management Scripts
I'm looking for a portal/content mangement system to use for my website, but all of the scripts I've seen so far (like phpnuke) seem to be for news/story-related sites. My site will have a "what's new" section, but that it as far as news or stories go. Does anyone know of any good (and relatively simple) scripts like phpnuke and were I could get them?

Content Management Systems For Clients
I was wondering what solutions you guys use when building Content Management Systems for clients to allow them to edit text on their own site?

Do you tell them it can't be done, and that you have to conduct site updates?

Do you teach them HTML so they can markup their own content?

Content Management And Rating Site
I am searching on some content management script in PHP where visitors can upload contents like images, flash, video, audio, text (stories), or art. And the visitors must be able to vote for the content. Let me know if there is any open source script. I dont even need the user management stuff. just any visitor can submit and vote. Can someone suggest me one opensource or cheap scripts? I am nto able to find the right option. If I have to do some modifications in the source...

Commercial Content Management System

Build Content Management System?
I am relatively new to PHP, but I don't care about that. I want to build a
database driven Web site that is really a content management system that
allows visitors to register and log in and write stories for the web site,
and also allows visitors to vote on the articles. I'm thinking that maybe I
should use a content management system in existence already because it
might save time, then if i need to, i could just change the system to meet
my needs. I'm just looking for some input on what would be best.

Content Management System Question
I'm currently building sites for a fairly small dev shop, and we've run into
a subject that we simply don't know where to take. So, here we go:

We have built all of our sites statically for the most part, using
Dreamweaver Templates, and provided Contribute for the customer to edit the
site.

So, a while back my boss and our lead dev asked me to look into a Content
Management solution using PHP/MySQL. So, I have built a system (oo design
using classes for all queries) that allows users to add pages, edit their
current pages, etc.

My problem is that our boss is wanting to see a much more dynamic system
that will allow a user to format text WITHOUT using HTML (currently we
provide the customer a small HTML reference guide). After some discussion,
it came back to the fact that maybe we should simply stick with Contribute
and dog the CMS all together.

I have a few questions:

What is everyone's opinion here? Is Contribute still a better solution for
giving customers the ability to update a website? Or are there major
advantages of the CMS I'm not seeing?

Also - is it even possible to build a system that is true WYSIWYG design
that won't use HTML at all for editing? We don't want to just provide a
text-based management system, but our boss doesn't want HTML to be used. Is
there a better way to do this using PHP? Maybe get AJAX involved?

Form Processing And Content Management Options?
I belong to an organization that needs to create a form by which people who want to present papers at a conference can submit their work for review. If they attach a paper, we would like there to be some kind of virus scan, but if we have them copy and paste the text of it in can it retain the paragraph breaks?

Ideally they want the submitted papers (either from the attachments or the text field on the form) to be accessible online; secondarily they are OK with everything getting forwarded to one person's e-mail.

Eventually they want to have this evolve into a content management system they can use to fully control and manage the paper submission, review and approval process, so if someone out there knows of a solution that could do this and we can start with now at the lower level that would be ideal. Based on my experience with PHP and understanding of how it works, I would like to do this in a PHP based system.

Content Management System Using Backend Database
Can I ask some advice in regards database solutions and content management
solutions.? Do you have a philosophy on what is the best for databases -
ASP, JSP, Cold fusion, PHP, etc. My company website site is going to be
rebuilt and I am the lucky one to do this but I am unsure of the needs and
complexity of the project, and what would be the best base code. Do you
have any thoughts in this area? The site requires functionality like display
projects, archive projects, sort projects by date, project location, group
company, etc. All images and pdfs are currently uploaded through the
content management solution, however we will have to implement a new content
management solution as well. Do you know of an easy to use product that
functionally work well in content management? Do you know of any products
on the market that are like WYSIWYG database solutions?

Good Content Management System Written In PHP?
I'd like some recommendations for a content management system. It
doesn't have to be free as in beer, but I do want to be able to tweak
the code whenever I want. I'd prefer if the scripting is done in php.
One quirk the PHB's want the system to produce static html files so
that if our database server goes down our website isn't down.



Content Management System Outputting HTML
I've created a basic Content management System that i use to maintain
my website.

However i'm having promblems with getting the site ranked on search
engines, presumably as it's all sourced from a MySQL Database.

What i'd like to do is to add an option in the Admin Interface that
would generate HTML files from the parsed PHP pages.

I understand how to save a full page into a file using ob_get_clean,
however this wouldn't solve the problem with the links which would
still be (for example) news.php?ItemID=2.

Content Management System Ist Driving Me Crazy
For a long time now, I've been searching for a good,
fast, reliable CMS. Most of the stuff out there (like phpnuke) is too
fancy and overloaded for what I need:

- more than one Menu-Layer... submenus and all
- MySQL-support
- configurable templates
- custom input templates (not a must)

That's all I need. Do you have any suggestions on what to use/try out?

I've tried just writing one myself in Perl, but it sucks and I'm
annoyed and looking for a clean & easy way to do it...

Real Good Content Management System ?
I'm getting somewhat annoyed about how many cms's
there are in PHP/MySQL while so few are really good.
Yesterday I started to like ezPublish, until I decided
the template language is ugly and the process for creating
a maintenance template for a content class is not logical.

I'm starting to think I should write my own cms, but that
will increase the leadtime for my site enormously.
So I would like to know from you if you know a cms that ..

- Is free and open source
- Is PHP/MySQL based ( usable with just about any host )
- Doesn't enforce site/navigation structure
- Has a WYSIWYG editor or one can easily be plugged in
- Has a forum module
- Is also an application framework with good
separation of content, code and layout.
- Does not have its own insane template language
- Supports a moderation process for content
- Has an intuitive process for creating maintenance forms
for posting and maintaining content.

I think Zope comes close, but that's Python :-(

PluggedOut CMS 0.4.9 Content Management System Available For Download...
Just a quick message to let anybody who is interested know that my
content management script "PluggedOut CMS" has reached it's next point
release, and is available for download.

Information on the Project (and download link)

- http://www.pluggedout.com/index.php?pk=dev_cms

There may be a fairly significant gap to the next release (0.5) because
I'm planning to add a fair amount of functionality, and re-organise
fiarly substantial sections of the code-base.

Static Content Management -- Baking Pages Rather Than Frying Them
I'm looking for a tool or series of tools to help me manage the
content of a website. My request is odd because I have no need to
manage content on-the-fly. I would be happy to regenerate pages each
time the content is updated.

I'd need to be able to --
+ supply a 'template' HTML file
+ a file (or optionally a database) to pad out the template
+ include dynamically created navigation -- breadcrumbs and main menu
for each page

I'd be happy to work in Perl or PHP, but must be able to use these
tools on a Windows platform. My preference would be for Open Source
software.

Can you let me know what the 'state of the art' is in this niche area?
I have looked at some Perl scripts, but they seem not to work on
Windows (and this is backed up by other user's comments).

Content Management System With Robust User Permissions
I've been searching for hours for a CMS which has a lot of options for
user permissions. It has to be free and while mySQL is fine, it can't
require root permission to install.

Specifically, I want to be able to create news annoucements and links
to files, images, etc that only users of a certain group can access.
Basically, this is going to be the internal section of my company's
website where clients will login to get news pertaining to them, get
their latest invoice, etc. Eventually they want me to incorporate
SolarWinds stats into it - whatever that is.

Microsoft And Zend Announce Collaboration To Enhance PHP On IIS
Microsoft's Product Unit Manager for Internet Information Services
(IIS), announced a new collaboration with Zend to improve
performance and stability of PHP on Windows.
This isn't just vaporware, either. During Andi Gutmans' keynote
(Andi is one of the creators of PHP and co-founder of Zend), Bill
announced the availability of a technical preview release of FastCGI
for IIS and demoed it for the audience as well.
FastCGI is a new component for Microsoft's Web server platform that
is available for download & evaluation today. It works IIS 6.0 in
Windows 2003 Server and IIS 5.1 in Windows XP. Even cooler, it also
works with the brand new IIS 7.0 making its debut with Windows Vista
and, later, as part of Windows Server code-named "Longhorn."
This announcement continues to solidfy IIS as the premiere Web
application server whether you are developing sites with ASP.NET or
any other server framework. Moreover, regardless of the programming
language or framework they choose, developers building sites of any
size can leverage the full capabilities of the Microsoft platform
with enterprise-class security, speed and stability.

PHP File Opens As Download?
For some reason whenever I try to open one of my PHP scripts on my computer, it comes up as a download. I'm using it to work with MySQL set as localhost, so uploading it isn't avaliable. Anyone know what it is coming up as a download?

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "password") or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to MySQL";?>

All the information needed to connect is correct.

Link That Opens A Xterm Terminal
Is is possible to create a link that opens a xterm window?

The person clicks on the links and a funcion calls

/usr/bin/X11/xterm -e ssh <IP>

which gives the person a shell on that IP machine.

Form Action To Same File Opens New Window
Two questions late at night and going stir crazy. Anybody who takes pity on
me will have my undying gratitude and a virtual bottle of beer.
I've tried to look them both up on the php.net, and elsewhere, but without
success.

1. Am writing a php program which checks entries in a form on a previous
page. It then asks for any empty fields to be filled, and submits the
resulting form back to itself to check it again.

In other words the file "checkblank.php" includes this line within the php:

echo "<form target="checkblank.php" method="post">";

When the form is submitted it opens in a new window (in FireFox). In Firefox
it is not a disaster as the variables and arrays are not lost, and the
program works, but popups are not something I like. In IE the whole thing
collapses in a heap as the variables appear not to be passed to the new
window. Needless to say, the vast majority of users will have IE. Is there a
reason I'm unaware of, and can it be stopped easily?

2. Can anybody suggest a quick and easy way to strip arrays? stip_tags is
fine with variables, but converts arrays to variables. I'd like to use it
for the sake of security though. I don't particularly want to translate the
array into a whole lot of variables, as it's a big array.

Using The 'Content-type', 'Content-Disposition' And 'readfile'
I've been facing a problem I couldn't solve, I don't know how to serch for it in the list's old messages, so I'll tell you what it is and see if you can
help me. I have this lines:

if (isset($_GET['download']) && ($_GET['download'] >= 1)) {
if ($_GET['download'] == 1)
header('Content-type: application/doc');
else if ($_GET['download'] == 2)
header('Content-type: application/rtf');
else if ($_GET['download'] == 3)
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $_GET['file']
. '"');
readfile($_GET['file']);
}

It should show to the user an dialog to the user, so he can choose to
save the file or to open it directly. The dialog shows and the user chooses, and here comes the problem, by using the 'Content-type', 'Content-Disposition' and 'readfile' the content of the page I'm in is "attached" to the end of the file I'm downloading. When it's an DOC or RTF file, the content of the page
doesn't affect the funcioning, but if it's an PDF the string taht goes
"attached" in the end of the file happens to make the file useless.
All I want to do is to use some routine to let the user choose to save
the file or to read it directly, nothing more, nothing less.
I have been trying to solve this problem for at least some weeks, and
I couldn't find some information that could really help me.
BTW, at php.net I found the following example:

<?php
// We'll be outputting a PDF
header('Content-type: application/pdf');

// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"');

// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile('original.pdf');
?>

I used (as can be seem) this example with some modifications, but not
too much, and it happens that it's useless for my needs, if someone
knows how to fiz it or some other way to do what I want please let me
know, I'll be very grateful.

DB Management
i've got a mysql table (or set of tables) which are used for logging, when it get's full the request starts to lag while it's searched. Therefore periodically I want to back it up. However, say I set a routine which back's it all up to file and then truncates (as so to reset the id) the table, ok.

But say whilst this is being done more entries are added and are not backed up. One point is, a certain period of time worth of log's need to be retained for frequency checking.

Considerations:
- If an entry is added whilst the table is being truncated, what happens.
- If only use delete entry, then at what point does the id run into trouble.
- Is it crazy to think about using two tables and just rotate them.

User Management
I have PHP 4 installed and am wondering what is the best way to handle users. Should I use cookies or the built in session management in PHP 4? Are there any tutorials on any of these?

Memory Management
I've ran into a problem with my MySQL Class. Otherwise a very useful and easy tool, but when you get to handle large amounts of data with it, it will slow your site down significantly. It contains three functions, from which the SelectAll() is the troublesome 'cause it returns all results of a query. What it basicly does is it piles all data inside array. Each result is an array, inside the main array. This makes it easy to go through with loops.

But imagine what happens if I get 10000 results. I've tried to optimize it and basicly the SelectAll() is only a few lines long. Still it slows down. I've tried to search for articles about the issue but nothing, for this kind of thing, has come up.

AD Management Scripts
I've been looking for a while for an open source banner rotation script. I want the rotation ads to be included on different areas of my side via php includes. I also want the users to be able to manage their ads and place ads for a fee (through paypal), and an admin panel would also be handy.

Does anyone know of a script like this or maybe something similar?

Document Management In PHP?
Does anybody know about a good open source form manager (document
management) in PHP/MySQL? I have to build online admin pages for couple
of custom form types which are currently on the paper.

Basicaly, it's about seminar event management with teachers, students
and sponsors. I have lots of (paper) documents with details about each
of them and I'm looking for a quick way to build online admin pages that
would have these features:

1) administer forms (documents)
2) building relationships between documents
3) advanced search engine for reports

Management Scripts
I'm writting some scripts to management users on server
throuh www. I need to call some functions like "adduser",
"rmuser" etc. in my scripts. I'd like to know the best way
I could do this. I want secure sripts. Could anyone help me
to find solution to do this?

PHP Memory Management
I'm new to PHP programming (coming from C++); and all is well, except when
it comes to memory management. Particularly, with passing objects/arrays in
and out of functions. I've had so many unexpected results because of this
feature, that I'm almost pissed off, almost.

Things like, I have a class, with some callbacks (which default to functions
inside the class). But when the default functions were called, $this
couldn't see the values of the member variables. I found that my calling
array($this, "fun") (for use in a call to call_user_func) was creating a
copy of $this and thus it was a copy of the variables. Fixed with a $cb =
array(); $cb[0] = &$this; etc...

Later, with more problems, I found that $x = new y; made two copies (I've
assumed from the testing I'd done). One where it calls the constructor, and
then one when it copies it into $x. Fixed with a $x = &new y; (I consider
myself lucky to have discovered this as it could very easily have gone
unnoticed, had I not been setting up a reference to this in the constructor)
Which makes me worry that there are other places I don't know about!

....and lots more of course...

I guess with a little more care, it will be obvious where a problem exists,
but as I am a newbie, I know it will continue to destroy me.

Are there any tools or memory management functions that will allow me to see
exactly how many copies of various objects/classes/strings I have. Or a way
to dump a memory allocation when it happens or anything. I'm fearful that
there may be millions of copies of my classes and such that I won't know
about until it gets released - and two users go to the web site at the same
time and cause the server to run out of memory.

C++ is so much easier, I know exactly what memory is allocated, when and
where, and when it will be destroyed. Whoever invented garbage collection
and all that; a can of comeuppance upon them (not the good kind).

PHP Website Management
I have just bought a small website written with php & html. The
vendors advised me that once I uploaded it to my website I could
customise all the templates to give it whatever look I wanted.

As a novice, I had no idea how difficult this would be - due to the
fact that a php website is very disjointed.

Can anyone tell me of any software I can download that will enable me
to manage my website so that I can see the structure in it easily and
make changes simply.

(I thought I was buying 60 sets of templates but what I bought was a
site with 60 pages).

Session Management
Is it possible to have session management differentiate within
browsers on one pc? For example, if you have two browsers on the same
shopping site, and one browser adds to the cart, the other browser
should still show an empty cart. I don't know if this is possible,
since I have done testing on amazon.com, and have seen that when I add
an item to the cart on one browser, then open a 2nd browser window, go
to amazon.com, the cart will contain the item I added from the 1st
browser window.

User Management
I am trying to find a GOOD user management script I can learn off of. I have read tutorials and such, but find it easier to learn by looking at complete programs. Is there a user management script that is top notch you would recommend?

Session Management
I have a question regarding to the new session management feature from PHP4. I have put this function on top of each php file. session_start();

if a session expired, the internet browser(eg. IE) have a screen telling the user to exit or 'refresh' the screen. is there anyway I can re-direct the browser and open a specified webpage if a session is expired? is it something related to the .htaccess file?

File Management
What I need to be able to do is to list all the HTML or PHP3 or TXT files in a variable-defined directory, with a little icon next to each one and each one needs to be able to carry a link. Anyone got any ideas as to how to do that? The link that needs to be carried will contain the name of the file.

Session Management
do I need to call session_start() on every page? and session_register("SESSION") to keep the variable session? when i've tried putting session_start() on any page...when i hit the back button it gives me an expired error.

Session Management
I am new to Session Management. From one of your articles I got the basic idea of Session management. I have created a user log-in session and its working fine. In this case its using Files to store session variables. The problem now I am facing is teh files are not being removed from the server even after the user log-out. How can I clear the files. (Garbage collection) Can I use MySQL database to store these info, instead of files.

DNS Management Software
I'm looking for a web based software to manage my BIND 9.2 DNS server.
The software should have an interface to add/remove/edit records and
also a user login so that different users can manage different
domains. I have found some various systems related to DNS on the web,
such as phpdomain, but it seems mainly targeted to registering
domainnames and then pointing them to a dns server, not actually
setting the dns server up once that is done.
