You can use Dreamweaver to code scripts. Dreamweaver's point and click database / scripting server behaviors lets you do just that.

Why not check out the server behavior's panel and take a look at Dreamweaver's help?

The enduser does not need to download programs, just the php/asp/coldfusion application. ( in other words, close to nothing )

simply you need to open the file you want to write and include it in a text area like this :

PHP Code:

echo'<textarea rows="20" name="S1" cols="20">'.$file.'</textarea>'; 

$file contains the file after it's been opened for writing ..
and after the form is submited, write the file on it ..

do I want to make that a file by itself or put it in the file I want to edit.

you said :"need help writing script to let user edit thier html or php files" ?? so I think it's editing the same file not creating a new one ..

[pinochio53]

I want a standalone file that lists the files in the directory and lets the user edit the php and html pages.

Here's a script I made for reasons I would rather not get into. It's kind of messy and contains no comments, so... yeah. It can read, edit, delete, rename files on a server. Fairly simple stuff.

"Notice: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\edit.php on line 56"

That's the error I get when I run it. The save doesnt work either.
