If you are cut and pasting from this page then you have to be careful about blank spaces and special characters. You could try pasting into a plain text editor first. I KNOW you’re not using Word… right?

This is definitely not the only method and as it is, this is not SEO friendly. However, with a little research into the apache mod_rewrite module it is possible to re-write your URLs so that they are more SEO friendly.

As for the fact that the content is served from a text file or even if it was from a database, search engines do in fact like this type of architecture, I have read that they actually prefer it.

Thanks for the comment!

Hi, thanks for your post. That is the same method I have used for developing my own CMS. I wonder if that is the BEST method I can use. My worries are essentially releated to SEO problems, how google and friends react to this kind of architecture (are they able to reach and index the txt, or database, content?).
Sorry for my english, probably I have made a lot of errors
Cheers,
Davide

Hey Matt,

PHP has a thing for “white space” so be sure all the code is NOT indented or tabbed over. I usually tab code for easier reading however this can create white space which will break the script.

I can’t seem to get this to work, when I go to the secure directory it shows a blank page and has an internal server error. Any ideas? I would really be interested to see the potential of this.
