Ah. You should have said this in your first mail (which was confusing). It now becomes clear. I think what you are looking for is a template engine, like smarty http://smarty.php.net/ given a template : ----- <body> User Information:<p> Name: {$name}<br> Address: {$address}<br> </body> ----- and the php code: ---- $smarty = new Smarty; $smarty->assign('name', 'george smith'); $smarty->assign('address', '45th & Harris'); $smarty->display('index.tpl'); ---- I think you can already see what this does. The non-technical people can edit the pages (as long as they leave the placemarkers for the output). The PHP-people can edit the code without worrying about the page layout (as long as the markers are there). I hope this helps.
