Dynamic & Database driven Websites

On the Web today, content is king. Using HTML and a few neat tricks in JavaScript and Dynamic HTML, one can probably build a pretty impressive-looking website design. But then comes the time to fill that fancy page layout with some real information. Any site that successfully attracts repeat visitors has to have fresh and constantly updated content.

Database driven web pages, also called ‘dynamic web pages’ are today’s websites built for tomorrow. To understand dynamic web pages, you have to understand normal or in other words 'static' web pages. Typical non-dynamic web pages do not change every time the page is loaded by the browser, (i.e. are viewed) nor do they change if a user clicks on a button.  They are generally designed using basic HTML.

Dynamic pages do the opposite, they can change every time they are loaded (without you having to make those changes) and they can change their content based on what users do, like clicking on some text or an image.

DATABASE DRIVEN WEB PAGES

One of the most common types of dynamic web pages is the database driven type. This means that you have a web page that grabs information from a database (the web page is connected to the database by programming,) and inserts that information into the web page each time it is loaded.  We use PHP and MySQL, when used together become powerful tools that are used to create dynamic and interactive websites. If the information stored in the database changes, the web page connected to the database will also change accordingly (and automatically,) without human intervention.

This is commonly seen on online banking sites where you can log in (by entering your user name and password) and check out your bank account balance. Your bank account information is stored in a database and has been connected to the web page with programming thus enabling you to see your banking information. Other ways of using this technology can be by gathering information from your viewers, such as names, e-mails, telephone numbers. This information will be automatically stored and later used tosend out any special promotions or simply what product or service you provide to millions of existing or potential clients at a touch of a button!
