PHP - html help plz...

Hello and thx in advance for any help offered
My friend is starting a html site but would like to incorporate a news system like you find on php nuke......
He would like a system where people can submit news and he can update the news page easily , like in phpnuke....
Is this possible ? and if so can anyone point me in the right direction ?
Thx again for the help or advice you leave

Check out the following two tutorials:

those in phpnuke have comments and so on but a simple one can be made by just inserting the data into a simple database (fields: id, author, subject, content, date, and maybe an icon or something). Thats a simple one like the one i made for my website (www.dematrix.net). The key to adding in the comments part is having a separate table with the id of the news so the fields are like: id, newsid, content, author, date. Thats the theory behind it.
