Auto Generate webpage

[LegionSmith]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to figure out the best (actually, ANY) method of auto creating a webpage for users.

Basically here's the scenario. a user signs up on the site, info is put in database and then a webpage is automatically created for them with whatever stock and unique information we need. I've seen this a million times at a million sites but I'm not sure how to implement it. I was thinking something like a referrer id, but I don't want this to be totally dynamic because it needs to come up on search engines, so each user would probably have to have their own folder or whatever on the server, and a base template for all users that is maybe copied to the new users folder? I don't know, like I said I'm trying to figure out a method of basically auto generating a webpage based on each users unique information.

 

I'm just looking to be pointed in some general directions here, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 

here's one link I found, this is along the lines of what I'm trying to do. http://www.caringbridge.org/createwebsite

 

Thanks much,

Michael

You're basically making it appear that a user has his own page, when in reality, you're routing it back to a PHP script that accepts a GET parameter and processes it accordingly.
