Re: [PHP-DB] Dynamic sites, to appear static...?
Sorry I'm a bit late with this, I couldn't remember where I'd seen this: http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/searchengine.php has an article on getting around this. I've used it and it's pretty easy to do. HTH, -Lisi At 11:18 AM 9/4/03 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been building web sites that use a database backend for some time now.

RE: [PHP-DB] Dynamic sites, to appear static...?
Hi I think search engines follow dynamic links so long as they are there to see. http://www.google.com/search?q=sm_red+compsolbtnG=Google+Searchhl=enlr=i e=UTF-8oe=utf-8 for an example of one of mine. There was also an article on sitepoint about apache having aa address where it is of the form site.com/somefile/dynamicStuffHere where anything after somefile is dynamic parametrs. cant remember much more, sorry... any Apche experts out there?

Not even a module (well, except for php!) or plugin. If you're using Apache as your Web server with mod_php, anything looking like path information following the script name is passed to your script in $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']. Take a look at, for example: http://www.lmu.ac.uk:8082/lco/php/support.php/visitors/welcome Note the position of support.php in that URL -- this URL is processed by running support.php with $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] set to '/visitors/welcome', which the script decodes to decide what it actually needs to display. There's nothing particularly special in my httpd.conf file to make this work -- the relevant section is simply: Directory /lco/php/ AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Order allow,deny /Directory As a refinement, if you don't want people to see the .php on the script name, so that the URL could be (say): http://www.lmu.ac.uk:8082/lco/php/support/visitors/welcome you can tweak this to: Directory /lco/php/ AddType application/x-httpd-php .php DefaultType application/x-httpd-php # or ForceType if you prefer /Directory Then you either need a relevant AliasMatch or Rewrite so the above still gets to call support.php, or you simply upload all your scripts to the server with their bare name to match. I believe IIS is capable of passing PATH_INFO information, too, if you set it up right, but as I don't use it I can't be sure (or tell you how it might work!). Cheers!
