Re: how to generate static html pages from dynamic php pages

Nicole, I suggest you look into a programming mythology called "Fusebox", not for the programming part, but because they have solved these search engine issues, without having to do create static pages, and with very little code rewriting. If you look into it, your looking for Search Engine Safe or Search Engine Friendly functions. We've developed this in PHP, and there are a few sites dedicated to Fusebox in PHP, although the methodology is mostly used with Cold Fusion. Basically, you change a link like this: yourdomain.com/script.php?this=that&she=him to yourdomain.com/script.php/this/that/she/him.html You simply have to add some code to handle this, then change you links to the new format. That way you get the benefit you're looking for, without all the trouble and disk space usage.
