Content management system for websites

Abstract

A Content Management System (CMS) for Websites is a combination between a database, a file structure and other software modules that are used for registering, editing or deleting the information. The necessity of this kind of system is imposed in the case of dynamic websites, which need a frequent modification. With the help of this CMS, the information can be modified with a real ease from the administration area of the site; the modification of some files, usually HTML, is not necessary. This system can be implemented in any site; the implementation is made in the programming part of the site, known as the FRONTEND of the site (the part that visitors see). The paper covers not only the presentation of the administration module, but also of the visualization module of the content added with the first module. The application was made in PHP programming language, with MySQL database, and runs optimal on a Apache web server.
