Q. What is a dynamic web page explained
A. A dynamic web page is a web page that uses some scripting
language, such as PHP or ASP, to allow the web server to
adapt the content of the web page to a particular situation.
Dynamic web pages can also be used to upload information
from the browser to store it on the web server. Examples of
web based applications that use dynamic web pages are guest
books, chat rooms, web logs, and forums.
The information content that is displayed on the web page in
your browser, will normally not be stored in the file
containing that web page on the web server, but in a
separate database. When the page is requested from the
server, the web server will retrieve such a dynamic web
page, process it to retrieve the relevant information from
the database, and then puts that information in the HTML of
the web page.
With dynamic web pages, the same information can be
displayed on many different web pages, but only needs to be
managed in one place: in the database. At the same time, we
can create another web page to manage the information in the
database (change it, update it, etc), as well as upload new
information to enable users to create new web pages on the fly.
