Seems to me that if you rig your database so that later users can't use ALTER TABLE (nor DROP TABLE) then you're pretty much done. It's not a real pretty front-end, though, in terms of clueless users, as it was designed for people who had some idea about how databases worked. Other than that, I got nothing in mind that sounds like what you want, though I suspect most of the CMSes are kind of sort of like that, to some degree... You can give a BUNCH of CMS thingies a trial run here: http://opensourcecms.com/ And I suspect that their forums would be a better place to ask the original question, as their experts on a plethora of CMSes would know what most closely matches your needs. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
