[RESOLVED] Static Pages from dynamic pages

QuizToon

Hi all

I was wondering if it was possible to creat a static php or html page from dynamically held information.

In other words can I creat a static page from information held in a database.

If it is, can you point me in the direction of a good tutorial.

Many Thanks

Your question doesn't really make much sense. Create a static page from dynamic page?

If you have the ability to create a page dynamically, view the source of that dynamically created page with your browser and save it as a static HTML file.

OK, let me try and clarify what I mean.

If i were to create an admin controlled news item, and the information was called to the page from a database using php, how do i make the page a permanent page.

If I had 25 items of news held n the database, how does a search engine bot pick up the info from the database, surely it needs the page to be there.

So is it possible to hold information in a database and have it automatically create a permanent page.

Hope that now makes sense

Thanks again

I would recommend that you use a content management system like Joomla or Drupal instead of trying to roll your own CMS.

google et al follows links, so as long as you link to the pages then the search engines will find it.

or you can create a sitemap specifically for google indexing with all your links
