php => html

does anybody knows how to convert php code into html on a server?

example:

before:

<html><b><?print("this is a test");?></b></html>

and after:

<html><b>this is a test</b></html>

If you're writing new code, just use the filesystem functions and write directly into files.

If you're dealing with a significant amount of legacy code that has echo and print statements scattered throughout, use the output buffering functions. Turn on buffering, include the old code, then write the buffered output to an appropriate file. Look up ob_start in the manual.

su1d

ob_*() functions
wget http://localhost/file.php -O file.html
lynx -dump http://localhost/file.php > file.html
/usr/local/bin/php -f file.php > file.html

as you can see, there are plenty of ways to do what you want. it depends on you what you preffer.

hmmm....
thx.

I have one more question - I want to convert php code like in previous example to html but in particular way.

Let say sb is filling a form.

I would like to save this particular filling onto my server made from this particular computer. More specific - I want to save to my server exactly the same html (after evaluating php )which is on his computer

In this case output buffering functions - ob_*() - is the best solution for you.
