Complete newbie to Dynamic URLs

[sirtech]

I don't know a whole lot about dynamic urls but I did take some time to research some things before posting but I still have some questions.

First Issue:

I have a site that I am building that will have info on video games. There will be pages per video game with everything (logo, header, footer, menu links, ect) the same minus the content which is the text areas like for descriptions and information about that game and maybe one or two graphics. You get the picture. So I have learned it's best to use side server includes which I understand to an extent.

What I don't understand is how to organize the data I have per page. Does it work somewhat like a .css file? Does it make a difference that I say I will be having a lot of pages (we're talking more than 100+ and more as it grows), so is it practical to have like so much content on the include file? And what is the file extenstion that I should use when creating one of these files for my content...?

Second Issue:

Now exactly how do I save and upload my files so that when I enter the url into my address bar, it comes up as a dynamic URL? I have only used static URLs so not familiar if you need to insert any type of coding to make dynamic URLs or whatnot...

Any help or links to some answers/info will be much appreciated, much thanks.

In regard to your first issue:
If you can see a lot of content coming in, find yourself a suitable Content Management System (CMS).

For example, check at: http://www.opensourcecms.com . They have a huge list, demo sites, people left feedback and so on.

Regarding the "dynamic URLs", I am not sure what you mean by dynamic URLs. Maybe you can define the term, or give us some exampls.

Well, if he gets a CMS. That will solve this issue for him. He does not have to worry about anything "dynamic".
