I am looking to create an automation program where I can add in 4 sets of variables into txt files, and the push of one button will make the program (either software or php) run through everything in the 4 sets of variables and save each conclusion into its own seperate folder on my harddrive.

Anyone know if software is the way to go, or if this could be done in php?
 


if you are talking local (which I don't think you are) then it would be extremely simple in VB.

You could also do it very easily with either ASP or PHP. If you gave more specifics it would be easier to understand what exactly it is you are talking about....but then again I can understand why you might not have done so.
 
i want to do it like this.

1. click button.
2. script pulls first keyword in the keywords.txt file
3. keyword is searched via a wikiscraper
4. wiki text is added to first template in the templates folder/file (i will have 200 or so templates to rotate through) for the index page.
5. the script pulls keyword images from google image, or another image search. this makes a pictures page.
6. the files (index.php, pictures.php and images/ folder) are put into their own folder on my computer (or server).
7. the script automatically goes back to step one and does the next keyword, ect.


Thanks for the info and help.

Ha, well it doesn't sound like you know any language very well :p . Like everybody said, that can be done in just about any language... VBscript, Server-Side Javascript, PHP, C#, etc... so if you want to learn to code... start readin' through tutorials 'till you can figure out how to do it, or hire a programmer.
 
YACG does something like this, if you know a little of PHP you could just modify it to do what you want
 
In all honesty man that sounds like a waste of time to me.....your content will be duplicate a million times over and there are much better site builders than that available all over the place. I saw a little app that converts word docs and some other formats directly to published pages which looked a little useful as you could obtain original content through various methods and pump them directly to pages but I forgot what it was called. The first thought that popped into my head was an old college professor giggleing at his compy as he converted my papers into AdSense sites..........you get the gist.
 
If it were me I'd modify lerchmo's generator script to do this. Almost all the ingredients are there codewise. You'd just have to modify it to loop over the contents of a file instead of submitting a three step form for each site the way it does now.

I would agree with this. Lerchmo's script will give you a good base to work from. Plus, with PHP, you can keep it local on your machine, or if you need to, put it on a remote server. That's not as easy to do with a stand alone app.
