i would like to know what you mean by writing

"... export the results of a php file ..."
It would be usefull if you give us an example , so my question gets answered and you probably get more effective help.

ok....
when a php file is executed on the server, I am getting a result to my browser.
I found a way of capturing all this page to am html file but how can I send this file by email?

I have read I can't remember how many articles but I can't get it, I don't know what I am doing wrong.

thanks a lot

You can use "buffered output" with "file handles" to save all text output produced by your script.

Look at the php manual (e.g. @ php.net) for detailed information to these topics.

If you don't find what you expect there, just send me further q.

Good Luck

I haven't done this yet, but I would try to read in the written file again into $text and send it with the standard php function for sending mail.

If you are a Linux user you can use the good old Lynx browser to activate the php page in your web server and save the resulting html to a file.

Do like this on the command promt or in a shell script:

lynx -source

"http://localhost/~user/thepage.php" >> "/home/~user/theoutput.html"

(I use this to perform pure server side tasks written in php from shell scripts. The html output is then a log file only i my situation)

In IE, go to :

File -> Save As -> Save

This will create a saved HTML page on your hard drive. Attach the saved page, and the resulting nessary images to an e-mail, and you're all set.

If you want to do it in php, for some reason.

<?php

function saveMe($pageContent){

$filePath = "Any Dir Path You Want";

if($temp = fopen($filePath, "w")){
fwrite($temp, $pageContent);
fclose($temp);
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}

}
?>

Peace,
