Dynamic websites in PHP

[DJMK4]

Hmm, it seems im a little outdated with creating dynamic pages in PHP, what I was talking about was creating dynamic pages using PHP and the pageid's, although im not sure if this is an old method which is not so much used anymore?

You have to bear with me, my programming skills arnt that of a master im afraid! hehe.

If its something simple I want then is there any problem with using the old way (CSS & Multple XHTML Pages?) Etc? Does this give me any limitation when trying out new web development technology?

Also has anyone got any hints and tips on my layout created in CSS.

Ignore color scheme as this is going.

Thanks

I was gonna say, considering the rigorous complexity of J2EE patterns (filters -> controllers -> actions -> (DTO's) business delegates -> business service -> DAOs and back again) MVC feels fairly noddy.

But I am just *so* tired of programming object notation and dumping it to a database!!

Your not forced to use that, you can just use MVC stuff if you want. There's loads of java mvc frameworks. They were loads around when php frameworks were only just starting to get popular.

Plus you can intermingle python, ruby, scala, groovy and clojure if anyone bitches about java. They all run on the jvm.

I'd say have a go at PHP, it's really easy to use, and once you grasps the basic syntax you can just reference the manual and google for anything you need.

Have a play around with the $_GET and $_REQUEST methods for dynmaically changing content and variables, and you'll soon realise the possibilities are numerous.

index.php?page=mypage

Is just a simple request or get....

if($_GET['page'] == 'mypage') {
do this..
} else {
do something else 
}

Basic example, but it gets really fun once you start playing around with the functions and variables.
