Another Static HTML output

[lsuperguy]

I have a huge CGI script that is creating links and frames for a site I'm working on. The problem is that it is VERY slow. To speed it up, we want to create static HTML pages from the database instead of using the CGI script to make them on the fly (i.e. rebuild the pages when we need to)

Can I create the static HTML by using the current CGI script and feeding the links from that script into a PHP program that makes the static HTML or do I have to do more work that that. I tried the previous method, but it didn't seem to work (but I was only toying with it and really didn't give a good shot.)

Any suggestions at all?

Thanks guys.

i suggest you look at PHP's Output Control Functions. The basic idea is to loop through all of your content and...
1. call [man]ob_start[/man]
2. capture the HTML output with [man]ob_get_contents[/man]
3. use [man]fwrite[/man] to write the output to a file
