Saving PHP results

[MrCastrovinci]

Hello all,

  I am trying to save my php results (post data) to a file after displaying it.  I have been trying to do it using this code below but the url does not exists and it has to be a file to use file get contents. 

 

$string = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/');
echo $string;

// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
$string = curl_exec($ch);
echo $string;
// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);

 

Then I tried this code below but it saves both the PHP and HTML.  I need only the HTML part.  As if you were viewing the Source code of the HTML page.

 

//buffer output
ob_start();

//process form
//your code goes here

//save & flush buffer in a file
$buffer = ob_get_flush();
file_put_contents('buffer.txt', $buffer, FILE_APPEND);

Try something like this:

 

$data = '';
foreach($_POST as $k=>$v)
{
$data = $k . ": " . $v . "/r/n";
}

$file = 'file.txt';

if ($fh = fopen($file, 'w')) {
fwrite($fh, $data);
fclose($fh);
} else {
trigger_error('cant open file',E_USER_ERROR);
}

file_put_contents(); is the preferred method for writing to txt files.

Try something like this:

 

$data = '';
foreach($_POST as $k=>$v)
{
$data = $k . ": " . $v . "/r/n";
}

$file = 'file.txt';

if ($fh = fopen($file, 'w')) {
fwrite($fh, $data);
fclose($fh);
} else {
trigger_error('cant open file',E_USER_ERROR);
}

 

 

Thanks for the reply.  That would work if I was only trying to save the PHP results, I also need to save the HTML of the page.  I have attached my code so you can see what I have created.  There is est.html and workestimate.php3.

 

 

See the page makes results inside the html.

Oh, I see.

 

This little test worked for me:

 

$array = range(0,9);

ob_start();

foreach($array as $a)
{
echo $a.'<br />';
}

$buffer = ob_get_flush();

file_put_contents('test.txt',$buffer,FILE_APPEND);

ob_end_clean();

 

test.txt contains:

0<br />1<br />2<br />3<br />4<br />5<br />6<br />7<br />8<br />9<br />

I'm not sure I am explaining the correct way......  If i take the line for example below

 

<td width="12%" bordercolor="#999999">

      <div align="center"><b><?php echo $taxrate ?></b></div>

 

 

I want the saved file to have all the HTML included and the PHP results which the saved file will look like this....

 

<td width="12%" bordercolor="#999999">

      <div align="center"><b>tax rate=7%</b></div>

    </td>

  </tr>

 

 

 

    </td>

  </tr>

My second code actually worked.  I was doing something wrong but it works now!  Thanks all
