How can you cache a PHP Page

How do I turn a dynamic PHP page into a static page that updates?

[zander213]

I am developing a site in PHP, but I would like the output pages to be static with different names for SEO purposes.

Ex:

Going from this: /catalog.php?sectionid=1&section=men&id=5&brand=&brand=40

To this: /category/product.php or html

Thanks in advance for any help!

I believe this would need mod rewrite or mod alias.

Try this forum see id it helps.

Or, if you have owner access to the server, save the content of the page as a static file somewhere when you publish a new database entry.
Simultaneously save a small file called /category/product.php that sets the right variables
<?
$sectionid=1;
$section=men;
$id=5;
$brand=40;
?>

Of course, I'd guess that $id is the stuff you are fetching as content, so that might be $stuff2include="productStuff.php"

Then make sure to include your template file (index.php) which gets the approriate menues and navigational stuff.

You can also do this -

1. Add this directive in your apache conf file -
<Location /category>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Location>

2. rename your category.php to category (without the extension)

3. Now pass your variables in the url as -
some-domain.com/category/product1/brandx/price.html

That's it. You can now process the url using the php variable "REQUEST_URI"

Hope that helps.
