A little php

From Virtualsoil

How do you create more than 100 pages with very similar content ? With some php (below) and the Wiki Special page for Importing XML, that's how!

<?php
/*This little program will generate pages in XML Wiki format for each of the 12 themes and 13 Genres combinations */
/* in my Story Wiki*/
//
//

/* the body of the pages is very similar, only one line changes, hence pbody1, pbody2 are the stuff before and after */
/* the line that changes */
$pbody1 = '<timestamp>2006-03-13T05:51:00Z</timestamp>
      <contributor><username>Admin</username><id>2</id></contributor>
      <text xml:space="preserve">';
$pbody2='

<!-- Fill in the dotted lines below -->
*Author   : ... (your name)  
*Status   : ... (Finished, On Hold or In Progress) 
*Published: ... (date) 
*Rating   : ... (R, G, PG13, PG, XXX) 
*Short Descripition: ...(a summary of your novel)

===Chapter 1===                   <!-- Copy and paste this line to add more chapters   -->
