Write output of Database Query to file

[Kronos9326]

[code]<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="BodyText">
        <?php do { ?>
          <tr>
                <td class="SmallText"><font color="#999999">RELEASED:</font> <a href="<?php echo $row_new['homepage']; ?>"><?php echo $row_new['name']; ?></a></td>
          </tr>
          <?php } while ($row_new = mysql_fetch_assoc($new)); ?>
      </table>[/code]

I've got the above script/query (and several others like it) that I would like to run every 20 minutes and write the contents to a text file. I would then include that file in various parts of the website. I am doing this to reduce the 'strain' of our DB server, since we've already run into problems with us running out of available connections.

Our server is running PHP version 4.3.11.

Can anyone help me with a simple PHP script that would do what I'm looking for. From there I'd apply to to the other queries I have running.

Any help would be appreciated.

David.

Save to a php file, then look into Cron Jobs (google it if you need to)
And setup a cron job to run php /path/to/file.php (and some other parameter i cant remember) every 20 min

Wow... odd..


the staff here has some special code that throws 403 forbidden if you try to type code that accesses files...

namely the fw rite code

remove the spaces from the file writing functions.




testing


fputs();
