How do i open and create a file like this ?

Question

Well,my current situation is like this.

When i search something on my site for ex. http://example.org/web-search.phtml?search=SEARCHED+TEXT the respective content is shown.

As you can see I'm using a GET form to get the data from the previous form.So the first thing i want to do is open a file with the same as SEARCHED+TEXT.So now i want to open and save file in

http://example.org/web-search/SEARCHED+TEXT.html

So each time a person searches a page like http://example.org/web-search.phtml?search=SEARCHED+TEXT a respective .html file should be created in the respective folder

And no.2

Now i want the whole source of http://example.org/web-search.phtml?search=SEARCHED+TEXT to be copied into http://example.org/web-search/SEARCHED+TEXT.html

So how do i do this ?

NOTE: If i copy the whole source including the code for copying and creating file then each time the person creates http://example.org/web-search/SEARCHED+TEXT.html a new HTML file will be Opened..

So i hope you got my BIG BIG question !!

I'm not saving the results.I'm just saving the iframe source.So technically its not static

Answer 1

You can use file_put_contents() and the $_GET to do the operations you want.

Firstly you can get the filename of the file by calling :

$filename = $_GET['search'] . '.html';

That would return your value, SEARCHED+TEXT

Secondly you can use file_put_contents($filename, $some_source_content) to create the file.

What i think you want to do is use apache mod_rewrite, you point anything from /web-search/(.*).html to some php file on your server (search.php) and use that PHP file to render all of your searches. This will give you the dynamics you want without creating a billion flat files on your server for no good reason.
