writing a cms from scratch

ringo747 · 27 Sep 2006 at 23:18

hi guys,

im looking to find out some information on writing a content management system... im thinking of running it with a mysql and using php for the scripting.. I know nothing about cms at all but i have to write a basic one for a project.

Any useful resources on cms and their uses and implementation?

Would appreciate any feedback

Cheers

cheers!

are you confident with coding? I have done limited pieces here and there but will have to learn php/mysql from scratch! I could also do it using .NET which i think is linkable to mysql provided you install certain extensions.

I have months to do this so am not in any rush.. Just trying to work out my options and weigh up the pros and cons for using certain technologies.

yeah il need to buy every php book there is!

I cant use any opensource stuff unfortunately.. it all has to be written by me.. for uni you see!

I dont have any specs as yet but its purely for some background research that im posting on here.

thanks guys,

i have a little experience in some of the .net stuff but i might be required to do it in php/mysql instead...

is a cms an actual engine or is it more the collection of php files and a mysql database together?

how many lines of code are we talking for the advanced cms you wrote mate?

Cheers
