How do I build this kind of website?

Question

I need a little help from all you web gurus!...:-)

I'd like to build a site that works like this:

- I buy a domain such as www.blahblahblah.com

- people send me their info/pics and I create a page for them

- each of these new pages will be www.blahblahblah.com/name

How do I do this, assuming that there will eventually be, let's say, a thousand pages or more? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You could do this by hand and make a html template file that you hold on your computer. You  can now add the relevant info and pictures, create a user directory and upload it to.

Problem is that you have a lot of manual work to do and in every directory you have basicly the same page over and over.

It is a lot of simpeler using php and a database. basicly you create a templated, but php takes care of getting things in and out the database. It get´s the data out of the database, merges it with the template and creates the html.

The url would then be www.blahblahblah.com/index.php?user=name

You could also install Wordpress ( http://wordpress.org/ ) it does just this for you. Beware to check that your provider has PHP and MySQL, otherwise it won´t work
