Coding Question...

[ericr23]

Hello,

 I would like to do something like the following:

I would like to grab data from a MySQL database and using that data, generate an HTML file. The tricky part is that I would like to serve the dynamically generated HTML file instead of a .php page.

I would like the url to look like this:

http://www.domain.com/test.html (just generated)

instead of http://www.domain.com/script.php

Thanks...

you would have to create the page on the fly using fopen and fwrite to write to a page and then at the end redirect to that page...

Hi.
If you only wold like to that with a single file, create a file named .htacces and insert the following code:

Redirect /location/from/root/file.ext http://www.othersite.com/new/file/location.xyz

(Copied from http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/index2.htm )

I hope it is what you need,
Sebastian

If it's just the '.php' that you don't like you could always set the '.html' extension to be run through the php interpreter.

In apache add '.html' to the 'AddType' line in your httpd.conf file
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

If the page needs to be saved with those specific values that were taken from the database then you'll have to do as Bastien previously said.
