php and mysql question

[pianoparadise]

I currently have an inode limit on my webhost which dissalows me from having very many acutal .html or .php pages. Is it possible to store all the html code from the pages in a mysql database, and instead of having physical pages, just output that html code onto extensionless pages in a way like the website imdb does it?

For example, I'd want my URLs to look something like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478087/

Notice that there is no extension like .html or .php. How would I go about doing something like this?

You need .htaccess to make urls like that, I doubt if your host will let you do any changes.

You can store the html pages in a mysql blob, your url would have to look like www.mysite.com/index.php?1234 where 1234 is the id of the blob.

I like the second option. Where can I read more about making URLs like the one you mentioned - www.mysite.com/index.php?1234

php will handle that url by putting the value in $_GET[0], you then just need to retrieve the blob and echo it out.
