How do I generate page content with PHP/MySQL?
So anyways, I'm trying to create something of a personal video sharing website. I noticed that in things like forums, the forum software (when I browse to a thread) simply says showthread.php?pageid=somenumberhere. So my question is, is that its own independent page, or is it generating that content each time I browse to that URL? How is it generating that content? Is it just accessing MySQL and loading the content into a template? If so, how?
