HTML pages vs PHP print

[Codenames]

Hi i want know if every site generate html pages for every subcategory or do they just echo html tags based on a cliked parent category

 

 

e.g HTML books (parent)

-Novel (subpage )

-FIction (subpage )

 

 

PHP

 

 

$array = link.Novel, link.Fictions

if id =['books'];

echo = $array();

Assuming you are asking if larger sites are generated dynamically on each request, or as contents change a static site is generated?

 

Generally, the later.

 

What is the term for it? Dynamic Site Generation.

I'm thinking it's probably the AJAX div content loading that's being asked about here...but the question is so loose and sparce it's impossable to be sure.

I meant if big sites generate <a><ul><li> instead of making HTML pages

You are really not helping.

It's really not clear what you are asking.  This seems to be a theological question as far as web page creation is concerned, and not directly related to getting help with PHP code.  I don't even what you are referring to as "big sites".  Every site is made differently, depending on a number of things: who makes it, what it needs to do, how much information it needs to present, who the target audience is, how much money the company that commissioned it is willing to spend, and how much after build interaction the site administrators are going to need to make and how skilled these people are at programing web page content are just a few of the major factors.

 

The internet doesn't have a stringent framework for how sites are built, regardless of size.  One site can hold 3 pages, with no user interaction other than basic navigation, and have no real images or animations to speak of and still be coded in the same way, using the same methodology as a site with 80 pages, multiple user interaction points, email facilities, automated image displays and animations and social links and media sharing.

 

Your question is to generic to get an accurate answer.  Most sites I have come across use a combination of static and dynamic content.  Static content for the content that is in fact static and never (or at least next to never) changes and dynamic content for the areas that do change a lot - or at least hold the potential to change regularly.

 

Perhaps if you were a little more verbose and direct in your question we could give more specific information.

Then why didn't you ask simply that question?

 

To answer that question: yes.
