creating html page

[wes]

How do you dynamically create a web page. If i ask the user to enter a
name, then the html document must be created with the name that the
user entered as the name of the document.

Thanks Wes

Do you mean the file name of the document or title of the document? If the
latter, a little php makes it a cinch.

All sots of ways to do this but all involve server side scripting. Why
dont u try alt.php ?

Btw I'd immediately name myself ../index.php just to see if it would
work

The former ain't much harder:

====================================================
<?php
# call this file "foo.php".

if (strlen($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']))
{
print "This is {$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']}";
exit;
}
elseif (strlen($_GET['name']))
{
header("Location: foo.php/{$_GET['name']}");
exit;
}
?>
<form action="foo.php" method="get">
<input name="name">
<input type="submit">
</form>
====================================================

and then visit foo.php.

Since this is Friday, I'm not sure I follow that. Okay, if the form is
submitted with a 'name', it redirects to foo.php/name. What is $_SERVER
['PATH_INFO'] for, and how does this create a user-named document?

Run it and see.
