Working with Files

Hello:

After a script finishes processing a form, I would like to take the web page which it produces and save it as an HTML file.

Can I do this? And if so, how?

Thank you for the help.

@MrCoderApr 23.2007 — I think your looking for ob_start(), ob_get_clean() and the basic fopen(), fwrite() and fclose() functions?

I'm not quite sure what I need. All I want to do is process a script and save the web page which displays the results as a file.

When I read about fopen(), it sounded to me that the file already exists. I'm trying to create a brand new file.

Will this function create a new file?

Thanks.

[code=php]
<?php
ob_start();
?>

<h1>Place your form output here, this will get saved in the page.html file</h2>

<?php
$html = ob_get_clean();

$file = fopen("page.html", "w");
fwrite($file, $html);
fclose($file);
?>
[/code]
