How to auto-generate alot of HTML files?

[PFOnline]

I'm building a guitar tab website and I have about 20,000 individual tab files and I need to be able to create an HTML file for each tab file.

The tabs are located on my computer like this for example:

C:\bands\b\beatles\beatles-yesterday.txt

and on my server like this:

www.mydomain.com/b/beatles/beatles-yesterday.txt

The thing that makes this a little difficult is that I need to be able to EXTRACT the file name of each tab (such as beatles-yesterday.txt) and add it to the title tag's and link structure of each html file...

So the end result for this example tab would look like this:

<title>My Sites Name -> Guitar Tabs -> Beatles -> Yesterday tab</title>

Notice how it took the file name and added it to the title tag.

Also, within the tab there would be links that say:

<a href=http://www.mydomain.com>Guitar tabs</a>
<a href=http://www.mydomain.com/b/>Guitar tabs -> B</a>
<a href=http://www.mydomain.com/b/beatles/>Guitar tabs -> B -> Beatles</a>

Then the tab itself would follow.

Does anyone know to go about doing this?

Never done anything like this before, and have no idea how to do it.

Have you looked into a PHP solution?

I really haven't because I'm not sure how to do this with PHP, and I really don't know PHP that well, I know more about perl.

But I suppose I would be willing to learn, if PHP was a way to do this!
