Edit web page from HTML link

[psears]

I am trying to open an existing web page to edit and save from a web page button.

I have initial web pages setup as informational and wish to update the pages without logging into server and using notepad.

I want to click on a button to edit and another to post or save.

Hello! Here is a PHP (I really don't know how to do it with JS) code sample:

<!-- PUT THIS IN BODY -->
<?php
if (isset($_POST['contents'])) {
    $fh=fopen($_POST['file_name'],'w');
    fwrite($_POST['contents']);
    fclose($fh);
    echo("File Saved!");
} else {
$text = file_get_contents(/*put filename here OR send this as a post from form (method=post) with filename text's name = file_name*/$_POST['file_name']/*or put 'FNAME' or $_GET['file_name'] with get or like: edit.php?file_name=FNAME*/);
echo("<form action='edit.php' method='post'>"); //form
echo("<textarea name='contents'>"); //textarea
echo($text);
echo("</textarea>"); //end textarea
echo("<input type='hidden' value='".$_POST['file_name']."' name='file_name' />"); //filename
echo("<input type='submit'>");
echo("</form>"); //end form
}
?>
