I have gotten a project on my desk. It involves updating the bios for a bunch of people, however, my boss does not want into a database (I think that would be the best solution but lets not go there). Although, he never said anything about flat files! :)
So, my solution would be to create a PHP page with some form elements with like "Education" and a text area for it, "Awards" and a textarea ect. and just turn the plaintext into a semblance of HTML.
I was wondering if anyone had any other better ideas?
The formats look similar to:
[center]
name
address[/center]
education: blah blah blah
Awards: blah blah
Edit 1: Eventually we will want people to be able to update their own bios.
It depends on what is going to happen with the data, I'd say. What is the purpose? Just displaying it on the very same web page? I.e. a very minimalistic wiki? There are several compact wiki implementations out there, without database also, perhaps one of the might suit your needs?
EDIT: Some Wikis compared
