I will be very gratefull to you if you will give me a tip how to do the next:
(Don't laugh if it is too simple for you, I am a beginner )

I have a .php file which generates a dinamically page with data from Oracle and I want to save the page like it looks on the user's browser(for future use), I mean with all data in it.

This is why I need it: I want to propose to the user to upload this file (probably with another extension, not html), like he would save it in IE with Save as... or like he would save the txt source of the page.

I think I need to write the content of the generated page into a file, then rename the file and so on...

If somebody sees this problem more clearly than I do, please help!!!!!!!!

Thanks

For dumping the output of a PHP page, I don't know of an easy way other than getting into the practice of using templates.

Templating means you will seperate the HTML code from your PHP code and have some PHP code to handle inserting PHP variables into the HTML code. It sounds tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it can be really handy.

In this scenerio, the template would be built and managed by a string. To dump everything to the browser, it might be as simple as just doing: echo $sTemplate; Instead of a browser, you want to dump it to a file. Not a problem: fputs($filepointer, $sTemplate); Here, the same exact code that was sent to the browser will get dumped to the file.

The only drawback is updating your pages to doing work like this.
