Converting a .php file to a .html file?

Question

Hello everybody, I have a .php file which has several queries in it. I want the output file as a .html file...

Is there any way to do this. I am currently doing this by saving, using my browser, that executed PHP file, as an .html file. But when I launch my product that should not be the case of the client.

Please suggest a way, thanks in advance...

Answer 1

Here is a sample code:

<?php

ob_start();

// your PHP / HTML code here

file_put_contents('where/to/save/generated.html', ob_get_clean());

?>

Answer 2

you can use output buffering (ob_start, etc.) and then write the content of the buffer to a file at the end of your script

Answer 3

Is this (this) what you need?

If these are not options, you can always curl to the page if it's running on a web server/

Answer 4

Another option is to use apache's mod_rewrite or the IIS equivelant to rewrite your URL's from the browser perspective.

This would require no coding change, make sure the Apache extension is installed and add this to the .htaccess file of your root web directory:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ $1.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [NC]

It looks like you want to save a static version of a dynamic web site. A tool like WinHTTrack comes in handy.
