new page from template

[tolkienarda]

hi all
i need to be able to create new .php files on the fly from a template only changing one character in that template. i use unique page id's to make sure the same article isn't being displayed on the two pages and that is all that changes, other than the filename of course.

thanks

This sounds like a horrible kludge. Perhaps you could explain what you are trying to accomplish, and we could give you a smart/easy/scalable way of doing it.

i have almost completed a content management service and one of the last things i need to do is make it so people can add a new page. my menus, and database are already setup to take new pages with no recoding but the acutal generation of a .php file seems to be difficult. and once i do create it i will need to have it filled with the html and php that makes up the template.

i will publish what i have so far to a webserver today so you can see what i am working on

Usually, the process of dynamically creating pages is done through the usage of a template class. The page layout, style, content, and logic can then be kept in a database, and referred to on a page by page basis.

ok

i can put all of my images and text into a database and but i still am having a problem generating a .php page on my server. realy all i need on each page is one line of code calling a seperate script and sending a page id into it.

sorry i am not being very clear but my vocabulary on this particular topic seems rather limited

Perhaps you could give an example of what you wish to create, as I am not understanding you well.
