phpSensei Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 You can use a function method... <?php fucntion YourFunctionName(){?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> </body> </html> <?php } ?> Put those two php codes at both start and end of your document... then included it as a function, hope this is what you ment.

hitman6003 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 What do you mean "whole content of a webpage"? You can get the html of a page using the file functions...for example: $html = file_get_contents("http://www.phpfreaks.com"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/62966-solved-how-to-copy-the-content-of-a-webpage-using-php/#findComment-313538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
