    The simplest way would be to have a central php file:

    pageserve.php

    which you would normally send some get request to such as:

    pageserve.php?pageid=1

    in the top of that you'd have some php like:

    Code:
    if (isset($_GET['pageid'])) { 
    $iPageid = $_GET['pageid']; 
}
else {
   $iPageid = $iStatic;
}
    Then you could have a file elsewhere in the directory structure called something like:

    SEOFriendly.php

    which would just contain:

    Code:
    $iStatic = 4;
require('pageserve.php');

    something like this will look for any php files added to filelist.php and then will recreate the page with the same name and a .html extension. I think thats what you want to do ? You could then setup a cron job to run it every x number of min or seconds.

    you should also add some code to check the date of the 2 files and only recreate if the php file date is newer than the .html version, that way it only works when it has to.

    <?php
    $files = file("filelist.txt");
    for($i = 0; $i < count($files); $i++) {
    ob_start();
    include($files[$i]);
    $page = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    if(strpos($files[$i], ".php") > -1) {
    $file = fopen(substr($files[$i], 0,strlen($files[$i])-4) . ".html",'w');
    fputs($file, $page);
    fclose($file);
    }
    }
    ?>

    SEs really don't care whether the page they're crawling is an existing file or a dynamically-produced page - why are you wanting to go to all this trouble for nothing?
