Thank you for your understanding, I hope I am in the right place.

I am trying to generate about 30 unique pages to be visited by recipients of a piece of mail.

I am planning to use .htaccess to redirect the visitor to the unique, shortened url.

I cannot figure out how to get this to all work together. Please help

I think if you're a bit more specific about what you're trying to do you will get more help... your description is very vague.

I am trying to implement a personalized url (purl) to print on a mail piece. I have created a mysql database and a form that places some unique information about the visitor using php.

I have successfully linked the page to the database and I believe the scripts for mailing responses will work, based on earlier successes. I did the binding to link the correct field from the database to the url. But now what?

My problem is that I have never generated a unique page and I cannot figure out how to do that. I am thinking that I need some piece of php script to create the dynamic page.

Hi Michael:

Thank you so much for your rapid responses. I tried your suggestions. No luck. I have tried many other interations too.

I am able to get the page to properly load the information from the first record. These scripts are at the very top of the page before the head and html:

<?php require_once('../Connections/seeds.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
  $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;   
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}
}

mysql_select_db($database_seeds, $seeds);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM seeds";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $seeds) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

This script is at the very end of the page after the closing </html>:

<?php
mysql_free_result($Recordset1);
?>


[...] Stand-by.
