Output to File Instead of Browser

[Floyd Resler]

I have a php file that generates a form. Of course, this displays in the browser. How can I have the form generated from my script but either saved to a file or the output returned to another script?

Thanks!
Floyd

I guess it depends on how your code is structured. I have older coder where the HTML is all one string so a file_put_contents($html, $filename); works simply.

if you just want to output the generated output of the script to a file you
can use output buffering http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.outcontrol.php

Store your generated web page (from !<doctype to </html>) in a variable.
Then either use file_put_contents or save the var to a session one and
call the next script.

That's what I would do, if I ever found myself needing to do
such a thing.

Buffering is the more comftable way because if you write all html to a
variable, output that might be created in a function, you did not modify
will not be included.

Non critical errors that create an output (notice/warning) will not ve
included as well.

Another way would be to create a script which makes a http request to the
output script and saves the response to the file

I assumed that the user would only be doing this once it had been
debugged.
Don't understand why a function generating output would present a problem.
