About these pages
They may look simple, almost basic, without relevant content. But these pages are not that unimportant to me: they are the product of Blue Electric Engine, a CMS in the making, version 0.2.1 of a simple PHP engine which I'm developing based on a previous CMS I've built to run a web project of mine.
PHP is used to build these pages from a MySQl database. In the previous version, simple text files were used to store all data in a logical structure on a UNIX server. Just for the fun of it, I've been managing those files with shell scripts which I wrote to support a simple work flow. PHP also took care of the consistency of data and put together the menu on the right hand side.
Is this the way to handle a future web project? Most certainly not. Which is why I went and rewrote the entire mechanism from scratch, using more up to date - but not cutting edge - technology: the trusted (??) PHP/MySQL combination. A first implementation of the resulting system can be found here (in German only).
From what I've learned so far here, and including more than a single code snippet from the BEE, I'm going to write a new system - of which there will be more to be learned once there is something to show.
Stay tuned!
