We'll start off by pulling our content from a MySQL database.

I'm creating my own CMS from scratch as a way to build my php and mysql skills. Everything is going well, but I'm at the point where I want to create individual post pages for each blog post I write. So the index.php page has a list of all my blogs with snippets of each post and there is a read more button that should take the user to the full page for each blog post. Each post has a url created from the blog title entered in the 'create post' form. I'm trying to figure out how to create unique pages for each post without passing the title, subhead, post content and other info through the GET. This also dovetails with another feature I'm trying to add. I want to be able to create individual pages using a 'create page' form like I did for my posts.

So if I want an 'about us' page I go to my admin form, fill out the title, add the content, and when I hit submit it creates the page dynamically. I have thought all day about how I'd do these two things but can't quite figure out how I can do this. FYI, I'm not asking for code, I just need a push in the right direction as I try to conceptualize how to achieve this. If you're not familiar with the Model-View-Controller pattern, reading up on it might be prudent. MVC is frequently the right starting place for high-level design of web applications.
