save source and image to localhost...

[wlandymore]

I have a script that I wrote at:

http://www.designflashpoint.com/testsignature/new/ioc_form.html

right now when you fill in the information and click generate it renders a new page that shows what the signature will look like.

However, I would like to have it so that it will save the source of that page to a file and prompt the user to download it to their machine. I would also need to be able to get the one image that is being used for that page.

How can I use something like:

$f = fopen("file.html", "w");
fwrite($f, "SOURCE CODE");
fclose($f);

but have it save it locally? Right now I can get it to write to the server that file.html, but I can't figure out how to save it locally on the HD and get the image too.

You cannot directly save it, since among other things that would be a nasty security issue. What you can do is serve it up as an attachment, which will prompt the user if they want to save it or not. This would entail setting the applicable HTTP headers via the [man]header/man function. (There are some examples and users' comments on that page regarding this.)

Thanks, that worked.

I just used:

<?php
header('Content-type: text/html');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.html"');
?>

Perfect.
