Dynamic pages

[hansman]

Hello all,

 

I am reading up on php and i had a question.

 

I would like to create a company listing. Entering these companies into my database is no problem. How can i make each company have their own "static" page but it is dynamic.

EX:

www.example.com/companies/[company name]

 

Currently im using a method that is searches by zip code, but my result is www.example.com/zip.php

(zip.php takes the entered zip code as a variable, then pulls it from the db with the rest of the information)

 

Is there any topic that i should be looking into to figure out how to do this?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I do this type of thing all the time

 

index.php?page=1

index.php?page=2

etc...

 

<?php

if(isset($_REQUEST['page']) && $_REQUEST['page'] == '1'){

  Put the first page here

  }

elseif($_REQUEST['page'] == '2'){

  Put the second page here

  }

etc...

Now you have one script that loads each page for each query. You can also put that just in the "content" <div> of the page, so the rest stays static.
