pull text from a database or file with html in it

[quiero mas]

Is it possible to pull html from a database a have the page dynamically

eg
<h3>hello</h3>
<p>bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb</p>

etc

then when this file is pulled the page is built to the style sheet

is it possible? How should i save a file if it is?

I want to do this for a article archive i have made with static pages but i
want the articles to look the same but have them stored in the database.

I would recommend looking into using PHP scripts to do it. You can store it as
a text field. You should have no issues with the tags < and > , but the
closing slash may require some special work. check out the forums and
information on [url]http://php.net[/url]

Just store the content as text files (say, with .inc extensions), and then you
can load them into the page based on the $_GET superglobal array.

For example, you link to:

index.php?page=about

Then use somthing like what I attached to include the content. You may not be
able to include just using the include function, as I can't remember how that
works on plain text content, but it should just dump the content where you call
it. If it doesn't work, just take a look at the file() function. It's really
easy to use. Also keep in mind that there are security flaws in the above code,
so you need to perform some validation on the provided include name to prevent
people from including whatever they want.



<?php

if(array_key_exists('page', $_GET))
{
if(!@include('./content/'.$_GET['page'].'.php'))
{ die 'Content file ' . $_GET['page'] . '.inc not found.'; }
}
else
{
@include('./content/home.inc');
}
