Questions concerning content managing script - GoFuckYourself.com

Hello,

My name is Ernie, I'm new to this forum. Not new to the adult industry, used to run a small site a few years back that I sold for the quick buck. Looking to get back into things for various reasons. I wanna start a new (lesbian) site and I wanna get it right from the start, and I remembered this forum being a pretty popular webmaster's hangout, so I figured I'd ask here.

Anyway, my questions concern scripting. I assume that most (if not all) of you update your site and manage your content through some elaborate script? Something that will allow you to add new galleries in a database and sort them into categories etc.
1. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what script would work the best for a small site? Don't need lots of features, so as simple as simple can be please.
2. If I don't find anything decent I'll probably write my own little php script, but I'm a bit concerned towards security. I'm planning on uploading a .zip file that I will unpack with shell_exec. Is there a risk involved in having that function activated on your server? Also, through php I cannot chmod the folder I want to put the files in to 777, which is needed for the script to work. I assume this is because the user php is running under does not have enough permissions. Anybody got an idea how to solve this? Create a new user with more privileges and run php under that one? Another piece of coding instead of the ftp_chmod and chmod functions? Any other tips for making a secure script are welcome as well of course.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Alot of small paysites use wordpress, it has alot of features and modules for the job.

Thank you for your reply. But I don't think wordpress allows you to upload images in batch.
Also, all the scripts I have seen that enable batch uploads need to have the upload folder chmod-ed to 777. Isn't that a big security risk? Is there a way around this? How do you guys solve this?

Thanks in advance.

There are plugins for wordpress for running a paysite. Uploads are always handled via FTP or SCP.
