Hi All I am having a nightmare with mod rewrite rules. I have been looking all day for help. Tried this, tried that but nothing seems to work. I am sorry if this is in the wrong forum by the way Here is what I want: I have the dynamic link, something like this: list.php?m=Nokia-3120&l=Nokia&lp=1&id=19 I would like the url to be static for indexing purposes like this: list.php/Nokia-3120/19 I hope some of you can help me as it is driving me crazy!! Thanks in advance

Hi David thanks for your reply. You have summed up exactly what I need for my site. I thought about the way Adsense spiders the page and your right, it would be impossible for the spider to keep up with demand. Can you point me in the right direction to start working on a system to create static pages from dynamic content. Thanks. Andy

Hi all I am working on a dynamic site and I would like to integrate Google Adsense into it. The ads work fine for static html pages and do work with dynamic pages. The problem I am facing is that Google seems to lag behind with their ads. For example, a have pages where users can contribute information and these can be searched by other users and the pages are produced dynamically by msql db. I have tested this with Google adsense and it seems OK, but it takes some while to get targetted ads to the page. If a user looks for information for renting an apartment in New York for example, the page is loaded, but the ad is still for something that was generated some time ago. For example, web design. My idea is to tag the ads onto the end of the article, hopefuly for further reading by the user and a few cents for my site. Is there any way around this issue? I have read that mod rewrite may work? I am new to rewriting, so forgive my ignorance. One thing I did wonder though, was is it possible to actually create a new html flat file from a mysql database? I create static pages with Dreamweaver and save them as whatever.html. Is it possible to have a template and when new articles are submitted, actually create a new file on the root with the content? I hope you understand what I am talking about. Any help will be really appreciated. Andy

Hi DOH! I have the cron job working now. I must be a moron, but I just realised that I was actually trying to run the cron job from the wrong cpanel. I have a reseller account with lots of accounts and I realised that i was trying to do it from the main account. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks. Andy

Hi Yes, the script runs from the browser OK. I am unsure why it does not work from the cronjob though?

Hi I have been trying to use cron jobs and keep gtting stuck. I use PHP and I just setup a simple script to send a mail. Nothing elaborate, but when I set up the cron job, the message I get is this: No input file specified. I have used the example stated in some other forum postings and have set the line with my cpanel name and the file path. What am I doing wrong. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Andy
