[Wolves] is there any way to write to a file without chmod 777

[Philip Harper]

Yes, thanks Mark, that is my original idea, I was just wondering whether 
there was any easier way of doing it, as it seemed a bit overkill to use 
RDBMS like MySQL when a user may only have three pages and they may only 
want to update their contact details!

But yes, it's the most secure way to do it, and it's the way that CMS's 
allow users to edit pages easily.
