Re: 100% dynamic php driven web pages??

let's say you have two files -- my_CD_list.php is a list of CD's in your collection, for argument's sake... these could be got out of a database, or whatever. each cd title would be a link (show_CD.php)to show more details of that CD (track listing, catalogue number, cover scan, etc) -- my_CD_list.php -- The Beatles - <a href="show_CD?id=1">Yellow Submarine</a><br /> Helmet - <a href="show_CD?id=2">Betty</a><br /> Nine Inch Nails - <a href="show_CD?id=3">Remixes</a><br /> -------------------- ... show_CD.php could then show different content through a single template (one HTML design, one CSS design, one layout), based on the id=X in the URL... this id might work with images, include files, other HTML, or even poulling stuff out of a database: -- show_CD.php -- <? $sql = "SELECT * FROM my_cd_collection WHERE id={$_GET['id']}"; $res = mysql_query($sql); $row = mysql_fetch_array($res); echo "{$myrow['title']} by {$myrow['artist']}<br />"; echo "{$myrow['catnumber']} by {$myrow['year']}<br />"; <?include("tracklisting_{$_GET['id']}.txt")?><br /> <img src="images/cover_<?=$_GET['id']?>.jpg" /><br /> ?> ... so far that's only two files.... why do you need the 3rd?
