Reading Page Source After Creation

irwa82

Hi,

I want to be able to read the page source of the html that the php dynamicly creates.

I would like to store the page source into a variable so i can then save it to a text file.

thanks in advance

I have done the following, it displays the page source but dosen't save the file does anyone have any ideas?

$html = "http://www.domain.com/page.php";

$ss = show_source($html);

echo $ss;

$file = fopen('t.txt', 'w');
fwrite ($file,$ss);
fclose($file);

Thanks in advance

Use output buffers. At the beginning of your script, do:

ob_start();

at the end of your script do:

$source = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_flush();

$fp = fopen("file.html", "w");
if (is_resource($fp)) {

 fwrite($fp, $source);
 fclose($fp);

} else {

echo "could not save cache file!";

}

Note that you may also want to take a look at PEAR's Cache modules (though somewhat inefficient IMHO). Look at Cache.php supplied with your PHP installation (default directory is /usr/local/lib/php on RedHat from source). Note that PHP required --with-pear enabled at compile time for `make install' to have installed it.
