Chapter 5. Building the Entry Manager

At this point, you know enough to start building your blog! In this chapter, I'll walk you through how to build the backbone of your blogging application. The pieces you'll build include:

• A form to accept entry input

• A script to handle input from the form

• A script to save the entry in the database

• A script to retrieve the entry from the database

• An HTML document to display the retrieved information

By the end of this chapter, you will have a very basic, but fully functional blogging system.
