Hello, is there an easy way to replicate a web page? I want to setup the same generic set of pages for some people on my team. So there will be signup form that produces as URL such as www.domain.com/username

Then on the pages I would like to have dynamic content such as custom URL links, contact information, etc.

I am not an expert programmer so I was hoping that there is an easy way to set this up or a program that I can plug in an use.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I don't know any sort of program off the top of my head to do this. The way I would approach it would be to use a rewrite rule for the username to a script (do it transparently). Then, the script reads the username from the pathinfo, and outputs information specific to the username.

Essentially, the same thing as www.domain.com/username.cgi?user=bakedjake, and rewriting it. It shouldn't be very difficult at all to do this.

start page script. its very easy to set up (automated install via your browser is included for all of his scripts). what's missing? a sign-up form and the specific url you mentioned. but its a good script for a team to use and can be modified pretty easily to suit your needs.

on customization... i suppose you could create new directories for each member and place all the start page files within, giving each member their own script. my data is full and the folder is under 150k.

good luck
