Scenario.

If I have an admin section in which a user can add pages and content dynamically (the private part of the site) - pages and contents stored in a database.

What is the best way to create these pages on the public side of the site after querying the database. For example:

$fp = fopen("How to create pages on the fly!.php", "w");
fwrite($fp, "Some content in your file");
fclose($fp); 

Would I use something like the above?

What are my alternatives?

I don't really understand what you mean?

My website has 2 parts, a public part and a private part. The private part lets the user add a page and define its properties e.g.

- Page Title;
- File Name;
- Directory/Sub Directory;

It also lets a user add content to this page via a WYSIWYG editor (pictures and text).

All this information is stored in a database.

The public part will need to retrieve this information and build the pages that have been dynamically created?

hmm.. isn't it easier to just have a php file, lets say page.php, to display the content from the database?

the code example you showed is getting information from a text file. you mentioned twice that the information is stored in a database. this may be what is confusing people.

Not if I need to create the pages dynamically!

For example, if a user wants to manage pages on a site without the need for a web developer - he/she will want to publish and remove pages as required.

Say a company has a new service but it only runs for 6 months. A new page about this service will need to be added then remove after this period expires.

No, the code above creates a .php file and content can be added after querying the database.

What about adding a expiration date to the content in the database? When this date is reached, only the backend users of the site can access this site/content
