My company has developed a solution that is similar to what you are looking
for.
The Jatosoft Web Framework is a system that stores all site content in a
MySQL database. The administrators of the site have a easy-to-use web
interface that allows them to upload images, change text and links, etc. By
using a SQL database rather than a text file to store this information,
secure changes can be made to the site, and access restrictions can be
incorporated. For example, a company's secretary may only be able to change
the "News" section of the site, but their president could change images,
links, the whole shebang.
It is very easy to add items to the site without writing any HTML. For
example, to add a link, the admin just fills out a text box containing the
URL to link to, and another text box containing what the text of the link
should say.
Our PHP then writes the HTML for them, like so:
$link = "<a href=\"".$linkURL."\">".$linktext."</a>";
It then inserts that into a database BLOB that contains the HTML for that page.
This is really a nice feature to have on a site - no one likes sites that
never update. If you need more information, feel free to contact me at

http://www.jatosoft.com/.
