Re: Basi question on web page content

As others have stated, it sounds like you want a content management system
(CMS).  There are a slew of them available that are based on PHP so you
will have a lot of options

Hi,

I'm still learning the basics, but I have a little site that uses php/mySql
and CSS. I can also use XML/XSL. Any text that I put in my pages are
hardcoded in the php or html files. Now, someone will be regularly writing
new text articles for the site. How do you normally get the text onto the
page? I mean, where would it be stored so that a page could be regenerated
if the style were to change?  I was thinking of copying the text to XML and
generating HTML from these pages. But is it usual for the developer to take
the text written by the user and edit it in this way?

Also, what is meant exactly by static or dynamic pages? I'm thinking that a
dynamic page is one that is generated after the http request, and a static
page exists already at that point.

Thanks.
