Creating Static pages from Dynamic Pages

[Anon]

Hi,

is there anyway or re-routing the output of php to another device, i.e. a flat file ?
The problem we have is that we want to create a static version of our web site to burn to CD-ROM. The only way I can think of doing this is to change the destination of the echo / print commands.

Any ideas anyone ?

use output buffering.

The easy way is to build your website, then use a web sucker tool like wget.

Say your site was at www.test.com, then you could run wget like this:

wget -r http://www.test.com

and it would download the whole site to a set of static files that you could burn to CDROM and take with you.

DOH !

of course !, so simple yet so clever. Ok so I didn't know about the -r option. All my worldly problems are now solved !

cheers Scott !
