Dynamic Sites

What Is A Dynamic Site?

A dynamic site is a site which uses some sort of script or server-side software to display images or movies. Web site operators use such scripts to make it easier for the to manage their web sites. They can just upload images and the script will generate all needed gallery elements, such as navigation links and buttons, thumbnails, advertisements, etc.

How can I know that a particular site is Dynamic one?

It's easy. All you need to do is to look at the links across the site in question. Let's see an example:

Regular site: http://somesite.com/gallery/page01.html

Dynamic site:
http://somesite.com/gallery.php?what=page01.html
- or -
http://somesite.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?what=page01.html
- or -
http://somesite.com/gallery.asp?what=page01.html&param2=value2&some_param=value3

As you can see in above example, dynamic sites use very complex links. In fact, those links contain parameters for the script. The script use these parameters to generate HTML pages on the fly.

So, if you see any of these chars, words, page extensions you may be sure you have Dynamic Site:

• PHP, CGI, PL, ASP, SHTML, PHTML, PHP3, PHP4 followed by a question mark, i.e. gallery.php?what=page0


• CGI-BIN, i.e. http://somesite.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi
• Plenty of chars like &, =, -, |, ;, commas, etc, i.e. gallery.asp?what=page01.html&param2=value2&some_param=value3
