Does anyone know of a simple PHP MySQL content manager? I've looked at hotscripts.com, but the ones they listed seemed to be more than I need.
I'm a PHP newbie, and I have an (mt) acccount. They do not allow direct connections to the database, so Dreamweaver is out (at least that's what they tell me).
Thanks for your help!

yeah why not use the one they give you for free at http://www.mysql.com I think there is an option for PHP somewhere

I've created the database with phpMyAdmin already.
Yeah, it pissed me off that (mt) wouldn't allow direct connections to the database. They told me that after I signed my client up. They offered no alternatives, either.

pretty much any isp out there will not let you connect directly to their mysql database. if they do, i'd be concerned about their security consciousness. Fortunately for you, dreamweaver (well, MX and up anyway) does exactly what you're looking for. when you configure a mysql database in DWMX, rather than trying to connect directly which rarely works, it actually uploads a few small php scripts to the site and proxies all requests through them. The one thing to keep in mind, in that case, is that you will be setting the host to the host you'd normally use in a server side php script (namely, localhost).
for the record, i do have an (mt) shared account, and i do use this.
