ABSTRACT

Now that we have created the real estate Web site and a database, we would like to facilitate working with the database without constantly changing the XML files manually and uploading them back to the server. We need to consider that a client may not have the experience doing so and may make syntax mistakes in writing the XML file. We, therefore, create a simple content management system (CMS). Using the CMS the client will be able to add nodes to any XML file or to delete nodes by just filling out a simple form. To accomplish this we need to write some server-side scripts as well. In the following chapter we will create two different types of CMS, one that is based on writing into XML files and one that is based on MySQL.
