Aplicació PHP per a creació i disseny de pàgines web on-line

Abstract

A dynamic application written in PHP code is presented. This application creates the ideal environment to users who want create HTML documents and put them to any server FTP in a simple way. All tools existing today to manage web sites or create web pages are commercial applications, too many complicated for non professional people, and we have not found none of them online. We think it’s interesting to provide an integrated tool of free distribution, on-line, that gives to users a simple environment to manage his web pages in a remote server in a easy way. Probably all the ISP (Internet Service Provider) give to their customers a small disk space to put a web page, but few people uses. Perhaps they don’t to know how it works, or what to put there. In this application the user will find all the necessary tools to use this disk space, without having any previous knowledge on web design. Only the address of his server, user name and password assigned by the ISP is needed. With this application we also have the possibility to register or obtain a XML file with the configuration which allows the user to make modifications on his web page , save the session, and recuperate the environment and the document created in this application in any moment. The application works thanks to a XML structure created by us. This structure is the background of the application, and keeps the modifications made by users, modifying it with PHP, and HTML forms. In the moment that the user wants to upload the website to his server, the XML code is interpreted and the necessary HTML files are generated. We have achieved to develop a simple application that allows to interact with the user’s server and allows to create documents for Internet easily, with a lot of flexibility when modifying the style, and allows to make modifications in future time. We believe that it could be an interesting tool for the teaching also, so we can see one of the uses of XML, CSS code, or interaction with FTP servers.
