I am not sure how to word this... Using Microsoft Office I can create esentially a "Mail merge" document that replaces each "Customer Name" with the customer name in a data source (excel spreadsheet in my case). How can I do this kind of thing in Dreameaver?

I have several PHP and HTML pages that are in a master folder. With each new customer I duplicate the master folder, rename it and then customize each page for the client. Is there a way to simply replace each "merge field" with data from a file? It does not need to be live and would simply be used when I first duplicate the folder for the new client.

Thanks!

Hi,

You have to rethink again about your understanding of dynamic server pages.

Sorry, but when you tell that you copy and then renaming the master folder for each client, this means that you don't get dynamic server scripting.
