Simple CMS in PHP Without Database Access

A Content Management System (CMS) allows you to update your website easily without touching anything in the backend. If you are a non-IT person, you will almost always want a CMS for your website because it makes you less dependent on your web designers or developers to add, edit or delete contents in your website.

There are many good CMS out there but most of them require some sort of database access in the backend. Many PHP CMS uses mysql or postgres database which resides in the server. Installation and troubleshooting of CMS might require some technical knowledge and server configuration which could be daunting for some.

I was creating a website for a client recently when he requested a CMS for him to update the web pages during his free time. I was tempted to install a popular ready made CMS such as joomla but on futher thoughts, joomla on a small business website could be an overkill. The website would most likely not utilise many features of joomla and furthermore, his hosting package does not include a database. Given a short time frame to come up with a solution, I created a simple PHP script for him to do the job, ie to edit the content of a few web pages only.

In this tutorial, we are going to create a simple CMS in PHP without the use of MYSQL, POSGRESQL or any other databases.
I still not try this type of CMS, but from first look i think its simple maybe later if i have time i will try to explore this think :)
