Dynamic Pages

[rondeprez]

Is there a way to have a web page that is loaded dynamically, or populated "on the fly"?

Suppose you had several several hundred items that were categorized by event and class within event. Would it be feasible to have a single web page that, based on a selected event and class, would go to a database, retrieve the required data, and display it on the web page?

This is basically the very form and function of php, and why it is used in most of the eCommerce solutions (shopping carts).

> It would be highly undesirable to have tens of thousands of items neatly laid out on static pages, only to need to re-create them every time you updated your catalog, right? And, storing the volume of pages would chew up GB of space on servers as well. This is why php foundations provide the very relational features you mention: a database will present qualified querries and be able to present them in a php format (which is dynamically populating web pages and formats accordingly: size, width of viewer browser, etc.). It is far more efficient and reliable using php and the features of such page presentation.

* php is also the means to maintain Search Engine compliance as well, for like Blue Voda, many of the "carts" simultaneously create a purely HTML "ghosted" content to be read and ranked -- you do not "lose" any relevancy of content or data as you might in Flash or Swish (which is why SEO gurus implore a *******ted site in HTML or CSS to be 'rooted' to the site by embedding not only a ROR file, but a hard link/enabled navigation also)

You can explore the use of Blue Voda created web pages and the formatting of BV structure as php by reading this thread.
It's the next wave in web design (side-skipping CSS) and takes Blue Voda to the top!
