In that case you should be able to build a simple cms with PHP without very much difficulty. It probably will take a fair bit of time to build one from scratch that is actually half decent and secure. I have recently built one one a university project (http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=328718.0) so if you have any questions as to how I achieved anything, let me know.

When you say template, do you mean an existing PHP CMS which you could modify? As suggested above, pagelime.com looks like it would provide a nice and easy way make your friends website CMS driven.

Hello again! I have improved some security issues with the site so I'd appreciate if you could have another look. Or PM me how you got in the first time. Thanks, James

Hello! I have spent the last several weeks working on a content management system for a first year university project. I'm quite happy with where its at and I'd really appreciate if you could have a quick look for security issues. http://cs1.ucc.ie/~jct1/cs1109/lab18 The site itself is backed by my cms and just contains a guide on how to use the backend. Proof of ownership: http://cs1.ucc.ie/~jct1/cs1109/lab18/phpfreaks.txt Thanks in advance! James

I'm not entirely sure why but this works for me: $height = 800; //the width of canvas $width = 890; //creating the image with $height and $width $im = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height) or die("Error creating image in test"); // width , height px $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); imagefill($im, 0, 0, $black); imagecolorallocate seems to evaluate to false.
