dynamic php to static html

Anon

ne1 know any good apps or articles on the easiest way to convert php pages into static html ??

basically i have a large db with about 4000+ records in and each record gets generated in the same template

problem is; using free php host which sometimes can be slow producing slow download time for my site

darren ??

well you could use something like lynx to do
lynx -dump http://pageurl > pagename.html

or try something like wget.

I don't see why you would even want to do this in the first place

very slow web host, until i move to a paid host i want to try and keep the speed constant for users, so time db access lags

i thought some of the big sites did this anyway ??

I think what you mean is how pages like Amazon use dynamic content without even using html pages, or how some sites have dynamic content using .html pages.

The vast majority of them just edit their Apache config file so that .htm and .html files are parsed with whatever engine they use (PHP in this case).

That way the user sees something like "index.html", but what they are really seing is a PHP, ASP, Python, Perl, JSP, whatever, type of file.

This way no one knows what you use on your pages.

It has it's uses, I suppose.
