a Voice in the Wilderness

I have been using a database driven (MySQL) website to host the sermons for our church. The LAMP sermon webpage is actually here since I have a lot of disk space available on my home server. The page is generated with PHP and the webserver is Apache running on OpenNA linux. I’m using a CSS style sheet instead of tables.

The website is driven by a database. When you’re ready to add a new sermon to the website, you simply add an entry to the database. The next time someone hits the site, the new entry is shown along with all the past sermons. Currently, I update the database via MySQLfront.

I’m in the process of turning this into a Sourceforge project, PHPSermon. I’ve recently been intrigued with the possibility of podcasting the sermons, especially since MP3 is already on of the formats. There are a number of links on the wikipedia page to help you get started. A podcatcher will allow you to automatically pick up the sermons after they’re posted, so their ready the next time you sync your ipod or are ready to load your MP3’s to realplayer on your Zire.

    For Madison Park Christian Church I have developed a PHP / mySQL sermon archive web site with a complete multiple-administrative back-end. Come have a look around. I’m in the process of refining the software into a package that I will be able to distribute. http://www.MadisonParkSermons.com

    Hi, Trying to find a download link for your PHPSermon program. All the links on SourceForge are bad. Is this program still available?

    Steve, try this link[1].

    I haven’t updated it for a while. I had ambitious plans for an admin interface and was looking at using Smarty for some of the templating. The original version should still be up on SourceForge too.
