Creating Query Strings without Databasea

Hi,

I am creating a website mostly using HTML and pages with a .html extention, but I will be adding a news site / information collection.

In all ideal circumstances I would like to have each news story / article have it's own extension

i.e. news.php?article=676

I am really stuck on what to do, because I know that it has been done without a single MySQL query.

Thanks for any help you can give, I'd appreciate it massively :)

Use a flat file. There are file based databases. This may be what you're after. Check out these links.

1) http://ffdb-php.sourceforge.net/
2) http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dba.php

There may be tutorials to help you along as well. Check Alltheweb or Google.

Cheers,

After looking at the Flatfile samples, I have decided against it and I'm doing it via MySQL :)
