Modular PHP Websites and Macromedia Contribute

Integrating a modular PHP website into Macromedia Contribute question

[Sekka]

Hi,

I have been "asked", aka ordered, to do some research into Macromedia Contribute.

From what I can tell, it's a nice enough piece of software. Does everything a CMS should, within reason of course.

Anyway, I make my websites very "modular". This is how I set them up.

I have in the root of my website a .htaccess that redirects any URL request to the index.php, e.g.

URL request of "www.mydomain.com/somepage/?test=true" is made into "www.mydomain.com/index.php?a=somepage/" and the query string is passed too.

I then have the index.php load in a set of PHP classes that builds a web page from templates and MySQL DB information.

Now, will I be able to get Contribute to edit this kind of system or should I look at changing how I build my sites for this upcoming project?

Thank you.

If you use Contribute 3 with DW mx 2004
you could directly enter PHP and MySQL conn and querries.

I do not use any of those hoewever I remember that once I browsed a well done white paper/tutorial on using both in conjunction - could be found on MacroM site.
