Php -> Html

[Frostie]

Does anyone know of a tool that will crawl my site, and create a HTML file based on the links its find, such as;
http://www.mydomin.com/product_descr...php?prodid=123
http://www.mydomin.com/product_descr...php?prodid=124
http://www.mydomin.com/product_descr...php?prodid=125

Then I can add these to my site map for, hopefully, bet PR rating?

website mirror: http://www.httrack.com/

creates static files from dynamic site.

plenty of options to play with as well.

Cheers for that, will take a look.

I guess that mod-rewrite would also be the answer, but as never used it before not too sure.

Will be playing (trashing) with my website tonight to see how it goes. I have found this which appears to be pretty straight forward;

mod_rewrite is luvverly, and easy too, if you're going to get into rewriting, then give httrack a miss, and focus on simple rewrites, they're much more rewarding.

Well after 5 minutes, have almost got mod-rewrite working using the following in my .htaccess file;

#begin mod rewrite
RewriteEngine On
Options +followsymlinks
RewriteBase /

# rewrite static to dynamic
RewriteRule ^catalog/(.*)\.html$ /catalog.php?item=$1

#end mod


Now the links and files load without any problems, but the images don't? The problem is when the catalog/123.html page loads up, it tries to load the images as follows;
catalog/images/table_bot.gif

It should be loading them from;
images/table_bot.gif

Is there a simple mod I can make, or do I have to go through all my files and link directly to the images (http://www.mydomain.com/images/table_bot.gif) ?

you could change your images links to
../images/bot.gif

that should work too
