Site structure?

[Anon]

Hi
I'm in the process of turning my static site into a data driven site using MySQL+PHP+Templates.

How should I structure the site?
I have a PHP script that sets the template and will pull the content from the DB.

Should I have a PHP script for every page or can I use somthing like PHPSELF to generate the pages using the same script?

Please advise if there are 'standard' ways of acheiving this or what?

Many thanks

The point of having a dynamic site is to only have one script that generates an entire section of your site.
So one script per page is not good.

Instead you'd want a script that reads the templates and processes them according to what's in them.
You'd only split things up if it helps to make you understand what's going on better.

I'll get there in the end, at least my dumb questions are moving in the right direction!

Thanks again
