Any PHP CMS is the best for data entry?

Question

I want a CMS (Web based) to input the product catalog. But i won't use the CMS to display. Instead, i will need a api to retrieve the data, XML/JSON return is fine.

Is there any such a system? PHP language is preferred.

Pick a CMS and use it, none of them are "better" at data entry. — user229044, Nov 10 '10 at 04:34

Use phpMyAdmin to input your catalog. Its forms will exactly match the structure of your database table.

Thanks for your input, but we need to implement permission, approval system for various type of data, and we won't allow user to modify the database structure. – Tommy Nov 10 '10 at 04:31
You can do that by creating different database users on phpMyAdmin. – Nathan MacInnes Nov 10 '10 at 08:55

What it sounds like you're looking for is just some generated database scaffolding. This Stackoverflow question and answer can probably point you in the right direction. Once you get the basic data entry forms created you can then start adding in your permssions and approval system.

Good luck and hope this helps some.

Thanks for your scaffold idea. Scaffolding is great for prototyping but the interface may be turns out ugly. I wonder if there is any "backend cms", which allow me do install module/theme so that it is easier when i want more function and it is much more beautiful. – Tommy Nov 10 '10 at 06:25
