PHP Generating Pages

Expand Post »

Hello,
I am very new to PHP and have been working with it now for about a month. My site uses a script to process a POST and generates a new page. The page it generates is saved with the same name as a blank html file on the server. My question is: as the html page remains unmodified on the server, does the php simply return the page to the user and not actually save it? Can the user bookmark this page?

Re: PHP Generating Pages

If you use the Post method then the user cannot bookmark the results however, if you use the Get method then the user can bookmark the page. Using the Get method means dumping the data into the url and the data in the url can only contain a maximum of 500 characters.
