80 pages to create!!! - how can i save some time

[craig v]

Sounds like something that might benefit from incorporating a database. That
way you would just need one page that reads in a url parameter and displays
the appropriate information.

Hi there.

Im in the middle of putting a website together + the next stage is to
prepare over 80 pages which will just consist of different company's details
and addresses...etc. Is there a way to somehow get round creating 80
separate dreamweaver pages?
If i was to do it now i would literally create a template to use + just copy
and paste the details from a text file. Then set the text using the css
styles i have already set up in the template. It's easy but it's gonna take
ages.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Craig,
Yeah, i was thinking that, but was hoping it wasnt the answer. Do you know
how i would go about setting that up? Is there any good 'off the shelf'
databases to buy? Or can you at least point me to some good tutorials.

Thanks again,

JimR99

It's actually very easy to do, but can be a small hurdle if you are doing it
for the first time. What type of server is your site going to be hosted on?
Let me know that and I can point you to some decent tutorials or help you a
bit myself.

Bruce - Thanks for the lead, and also for the honest caveat.

I tried downloading the phpdev4 bundle (PHP4.06 / Apache1.3.20 / MySQL3.23 ),
but the server said that the bandwidth had been maxxed, and to try again next
month!
Any idea where else to download this version/bundle?
thanks,
warren

on DMXzone there;s a pretty easy tutorial on how to add PHP/ MySQL
functionality to your page

caveat: it costs $1.99 and I work for the company
