allow users to create links
I'd like to be able create a few links on a web page and have it saved and displayed so the next time I connect the links are still there as well as the ability to delete and edit them. How might I go about doing this? I don't want a whole program to add a bunch of links and misc. functions, I just want a few links.
Would it be better to have an html file produced with the links, or a cgi file that spit out the new links that were saved say in a text file?
Thanks,
Aaron

The links would be updated a few times a week. I would like other users to be able to add links as well.
What I want to use this for is in conjunction with the fileupload program. So the user would upload their file and be able to put file info and description, as well as a link that they could click after the file was uploaded. So the page would look something like this.
filename size description
filename size description
where they could click on the file to open it.
Would it be a good idea to have all the file info and description saved in a text file? If so how would I create the program so it would not only upload the file (using fileupload) but save the info the user entered into a separate data.txt file?
Eg.
text box[please enter the filename]
text box[please enter a description]
click browse to select file to upload
[browse button]
[submit button]
So when the user clicks the submit button I want the data saved to the text file and the file itself uploaded in one click.
Does that makes sense?
Thanks,
Aaron
