Fast Edit
A PHP script to edit files on the server

Freeware
Version 1.0



Description

This is a very simple script which is similar to one I bought before I learned to write PHP. You upload the script to a folder on your webspace, and then it allows you to edit any of your webpages from any browser.

When you go to your edit page, you'll get a password protected area where you enter your username and password. This username and password are configured in the single-file script.

As for uses? I'm sure someone will find some use for this little script. It could be used in a SSI folder, or uploaded to a page which you could need to edit pages in secret from your work place, or from an Internet cafe when you are on holiday. I'm sure there are other uses I haven't thought of too.


Working Example

On my webspace I have a folder like this:

http://www.tomsnewbiebooster.com/resources/fast-edit/example/

This folder has 3 files in there:

gallery-1.html
gallery-2.html
gallery-3.html

Which are just files I pulled off a site for this example. I also uploaded fast_edit.php in there. Go to fast edit now:

http://www.tomsnewbiebooster.com/resources/fast-edit/example/fast_edit.php

Username: tom
Password: tompass

And then you'll see the script finds the files in that folder. Click on gallery-1.html and you can edit the page there in the browser.


Download & Installation

There's really nothing much to set up. Unzip the fast_edit.php file and change the username from tom to whatever you want to, and the password from tompass to whatever you'd like. Then upload that to any folder where you'd like to be able to edit files from your browser.

One thing that you'll need to do is to CHMOD any files you want to allow this script to alter to 766. Here's more info on CH MOD for anyone who has not heard of it before:
