Hmm- WTF? ColdFusion is a laughing matter? Not hardly-
1) PHP is most likely to be found in use on Adult (14.75%) , Business (14.75%) or Technology (11%) type websites.
2) Adobe ColdFusion is most likely to be found in use on Business (21%), Shopping (20%) or Travel (13%) type websites.
I don't host "Adult" Websites- and I'm certainly not a "ColdFusion God" ....
But, thanks for your opinion.

Thanks for everyone's help.
Re: Learning PHP. I will be 62 this year- this is the first time I was backed into a corner, i.e. could not convince a client to let me host their site ( I host about 75 now) but needed a dynamic CMS app.
IOW I will be retired in a couple of years- I know, old dog-new tricks is not for Web Developers, but I'm so close.....

Do not want to use WordPress- just a simple form with 2 fields- "Headline" and "Story" - after submitting, the headline will display on the headline page:
<a href="storypage.html">Headline- see more:</a>
Then the story simply displays on the storypage.html with the headline above it- I suppose the submitted data would need to be stored in in a DB- that's how I would handle it with CF.
Thanks for your help.

WordPress was developed for Blogs and not entire Websites- Contribute is more robust, has more features, and was originally developed for non-coders to update Websites.

Hello
I code by hand (HTML & CF -14 years now), and some of my customers want the ability to do updates to their sites themselves using Adobe Contribute, and I can build any app they need that Contribute can't handle in CF if they host on my server - however, in this particular case, the site is hosted by GoDaddy which is no longer supporting CF.
The site is PHP-enabled, and the client was using WordPress to update his entire site. Because of the blogging-centric features of Wordpress, a user can enter a "headline" then an associated story (commentary) - publish, and the headline ends up on one page linked to the page where the headline and story live.
So, I need a simple form handler written in PHP that allows the client to enter his "headline" (which is a hard-coded link to the "rest of the story" page), the headline showing up above the story content (using a second form field) - not necessarily targeting <a href="#end-up-here"> - just simply land on the page where the content gets dynamically displayed.
Thanks in advance for your patience and be kind---- I have never written a line of PHP- just thousands of lines of CF.....

Not familiar with that term- I'm old enough to be your grandfather- probably why.
I didn't post to this forum to discuss (or argue) the merits of PHP vs. CF- just for some advice.
BTW just because a dynamic Web development platform costs money doesn't mean it's bad.
But again, thanks for your feedback.
