Write php to html to bring down queries

[fr8]

I would like to write my pages to html files and only update those files when I execute the write again. But im not sure how to write them to file. I thought of executing wget and use that but that seemed like alot more work then it should be. Any ideas?

Can you expand on what you want to do - its a little unclear. It sounds like a template requirement but I can't be sure. More detail please?

Instead of bringing up my php pages that have some large queries in them. I just want to write that page to html.

[subwayman]

Err, still no wiser. Are you wanting to effectively cache pages with big queries?

[fr8]

yes. save the output to file. so the next time its called you get the saved page.

Then yes. You need to open a file for write, write the output to it and then close.

$handle = fopen("/ bigquery.htm", "w"); opens a file to write

$somecontent = "<strong>Heading</strong>";
fwrite($handle, $somecontent); writes some html to the file

fclose($handle); closes the file.

It's probably a good idea to check these function in the manual before you use them. Remeber to set the perm ission for the new file so that they can be served without permissions errors.
