写出html文件的PHP CMS教程

Question

I want to create a cms that writes out flat html files, so no database involvement.

The idea is the CMS will allow files to be edited and updated (written in php and can make use of a mysql database if needed), then save/write out these changes to an html file, rather than having a php site that relies on mysql calls to get data.

My questions; does something like this already exist? Am I making things more difficult for myself by doing it this way?

THanks :)

Barebones CMS sounds like it might fit the bill:

It doesn't use MySQL and its built-in caching system outputs static HTML files. It uses a little PHP to bootstrap the cache but that can, depending on the website, be completely bypassed using some web server rules (e.g. .htaccess) or just push the static files to the right locations on a production box and rename them (requires using a subdirectory for every page).
