Creating the Admin Script for a PHP/MySQL Blogging System

(Jacques Noah) In this part of the series we will be writing the administration of the blog. The idea is to give the owner of the blog the ability to manage the blog by being able to remove users and articles as required, or to alter the status of users by upgrading them to admin status or banning them. It is also a place where the administrator can start new topics that will then garner their own replies.
