How to automatically create a page?

Question

Here is my website : http://searchr.us/web-search.phtml

So now,once anyone searches in that page it comes like this :

http://searchr.us/web-search.phtml?search=SEARCHED+TEXT

So now what i want to do is that when a person searches anything for that matter.A page with its title called

http://searchr.us/web-search.phtml?search=SEARCHED+TEXT.html

Or something like that which has the keywords in the title and the content he searched in the body.

Hope you understood the question.

Thanking You, 5416339

I think you'll need mod_rewrite (if it's apache and you have chance to use it). — LatinSuD

Do you mean that you want the results of the search statically stored in an HTML file and that file retrieved any time the same search is made? — David

The question mark is not valid in a URL path; it is used to separate the path from the query string. You will need to detect the presence of a previous search and serve that content up yourself. Putting the search results in a file named after the search terms in a separate directory is a good idea though. See fopen(), fwrite(), fclose(), and readfile().

Thanks will look at this.Any better suggestion ?

The file I/O operations are probably the easy part. Creating the static file with fully-rendered output will be a little more complex, though not a terribly big deal with a decent template system. Probably just keep a standard search result template with a place to insert the content, open it, do a string place to insert the content, save as a new file.

And do this opening and creating a file each time they search will make my search results a little slow ? Because this has to happen simultaneously right ?

Unless the search is incredibly fast (probably on the order of tens of milliseconds or less), the file output will be only a very tiny fraction of the delay before the page comes up.

I would do it after you've sent everything to the client and flushed it.
