Hi ,

I am a  beginner with Solr and would like to index dynamic php files ( page.php?ID=233) and static php files and .shtml files.  This is for a small website, which hits a small MySql database on the backend, however some php files are static and are not part of the database.

Can you tell me the best way to achieve this?

Also, I know that XML data is returned by default, but how do I go about creating a custom page for the results?
Thanks,
Steve

What do you mean by static php files? As far as I know PHP is to make
pages look dynamic. If you want to index dynamic pages as they where
just HTML you will have to download them, and add them to Solr.
Programming a small program in SolrJ and using some HTTP library
(http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/) to download the pages is the
usual thing.

Generating lists of URL, downloading those files to a temporary
location and adding them to Solr is the tipical approach. To add them
to Solr you can use
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtractingRequestHandler or parse them
yourself using a library such as TagSoup
http://ccil.org/~cowan/XML/tagsoup/ that I havn't tested myself but
apparently it is very robust

Thanks Emmanuel,

I should have been more clear about my use of the word 'dynamic', I actually meant PHP files that do not pull content from a database. I will take a look at the links you provided, ...thanks again for putting me on the right path.

Steve

Looks like a material for nutch and solr

Consider using velocity response writer ( aka solaritas )
