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.

Cool. I ask enough questions around here... it's cool to be able to help someone every now and then. :-)

Go ahead and mark this thread as "ANSWERED."


Sorry.

I think I spoke too soon. I got the page to load the way I wanted it to, but I could not get the htaccess rewrite to work. I think I need to go back to the mySQL statement. I don't think I can use the "id" field. I think I need to use a field called "pageaddress" it is a longer text field that I plan to print on the mail piece.

I tried to vary the statement you suggested, but it yielded an error and messed up the whole recordset.
