How can I make a "light cms" with PHP?

Question

I really don't want to use any software, I want to learn by myself. Nothing like WordPress though. All it is, user goes to example.com/login. and they enter a password. After that all they see is Mark down text-editor. They put in content then click enter. then it generates to the page. Creating a short summery for the front of the page then having a link to the whole page.

How would I accomplish this? Any tutorials?

I know you want to code it for 4self, but try looking the indexhibit source. Is simple and functional

Sounds like you need a basic PHP/MySQL tutorial. Here's an good one:
