Creating static pages based on search results
I want to be able to build pages (along with cool/new etc) which list links based on a search.

For instance, I would like to build a page which has all the links containing the word 'daily'. I know I could just place a link to something like:
http://www.competitions-online.co.uk/cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=daily&mh=25&type=keyword&bool=and

but I would rather not have to have this page generated 'on the fly' all the time. I'd rather be able to build it as a static page. How would you go about doing this?

Sorry if this problem has come up before but I haven't been able to find a solution in the forum or FAQ.

What is your ultimate goal in doing this? WHY do you want to do this?

Please be more specific.

OK, I run a competitions/contests web site.

I would like pages for weekly draws, monthly draws and for tiebreakers.

One way of getting these pages is to search for 'weekly draws', 'monthly draws' etc. but I would like to have a link that people click on links for these. I could have a link which does the search, but I would rather build static pages, as creating them on the fly all the time would use more bandwidth (I'm already paying high bandwidth charges!) So I'd rather just build the pages once each day.

Is this any clearer? Or still mud?

I want to bring this thread back to the top because this is exactly what I want to do but the question was never answered. Any help is appreciated.
