A php file content to a html file

Undrium

My dynamic to static converter is not working anymore. Not sure what the problem is but once I try to make an index.php file into a index.html file I lose all the output from the php. What's wrong with this?

I'm using a function which someone recommended to me here:

function wwwcopy($link,$file)
	{
		 $fp = fopen($link,"r");
		 while(!feof($fp))
			{
				$cont.= fread($fp,1024);
			}
		fclose($fp);

	$fp2 = fopen($file,"w");
	fwrite($fp2,$cont);
	fclose($fp2);
}

wwwcopy("index.php", "index.html");

Files and folders are all chmodded to 777. :/

Thanks for the help. 🙂

When you run this script does it make an exact copy of index.php to index.html? As in an unparsed php script? because that's what you are doing here. You are saying open "index.php" and put its contents into "index.html"

This function may have been intended to copy rendered pages into static pages. (as hinted by the function name "wwwcopy"). fopen() afterall is intended to work with urls as well as physical files.

Here's my test:

function wwwcopy($link,$file)
    {
         $fp = fopen($link,"r");
         while(!feof($fp))
            {
                $cont.= fread($fp,1024);
            }
        fclose($fp);

    $fp2 = fopen($file,"w");
    fwrite($fp2,$cont);
    fclose($fp2);
}

wwwcopy("http://blog.rvdavid.net/", "index.html");

As you can see, it takes the rendered html output from the URL http://blog.rvdavid.net and saves it into index.html

For this type of functionality to work however you will need to have allow_url_fopen enabled.

HTH. 🙂

Hey, thanks for the quick reply, rvdavid!

I get the entire site copied to html, allthough I miss the php content. For instance

echo 'Hubba bubba';

Won't be in the html-file. :/ It used to work though.

So setting allow_url_fopen to 1 might fix this? I can see at your site that you have an index.html, allthough I'm not sure what previously once was php. 🙂

edit: Small update, my allow_url_fopen is actually on but it doesn't work. :/

Are you saying that you want to save the PHP code into the index.html file instead of the parsed PHP output?

If so, then I'm afraid this would be impossible because the PHP code (everything between <?php and ?>) is processed by your webserver which in turn returns the product of parsed PHP commands. (eg. echo 'Hubba bubba'; would return just 'Hubba bubba')

The reason that

echo 'Hubba bubba';

is not on the file, is because it is being parsed. Instead, you will be getting the text 'Hubba bubba'.

The reason that it "used to work" may be because the web server was not configured properly.

HTH. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

nods I understand that but won't the text "Hubba bubba" be in the html?

rvdavid

yes. perhaps it would be better if you could provide some source code. Maybe I just don't understand what you aretrying to copy - what are you trying to copy?

The test that I have provided previously copies rendered PHP output and saves it to the index.html file
