php form to html file

[arnec]

I have a page which utililizes a form and php to pass variables onto another page. I would like
the latter page to save itself as a static .html file on my server. I am using some code I snagged from
http://dbforums.com/arch/150/2003/5/775940
to do this, but it results in some out-of-control loop that that builds a page that saves itelf, that
builds a page that saves itself, that builds... etc Atleast I think that's what's happening.

Does anybody have any ideas of what I may do.

thank you in advance.

This is what I have currently written at the end of my script on the second page.

    $root = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
    $query = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'].$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
    $wholeurl = "http://"."www.mypage.com"."$root"."?"."$query";

    $newfile = "$newfile.html";
    $fcontents = "$wholeurl";

    $handle = @fopen("$fcontents","r");
    $handle2 = @fopen("$newfile", "a");

    if (!$handle) {
     print ("Sorry - Unable To Open File For Reading.");
     die;
     }

    $contents = fread ($handle, 1000000);

    $newval1 = str_replace("form", "", "$contents");

     print (" $newval1 ");

    fwrite($handle2, $newval1);
    fclose($handle);
    fclose($handle2);
