How to save page content to a text file

**pbmods** · Oct 22 '07, 12:12 PM

Heya, NMA.

Create a new PHP script to load and save the database content and link to that file.

You can tell the browser to display the content as text by using this line:
[code=php]
header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=charact erSetGoesHere') ;
[/code]

The value of charset is generally 'utf-8', but you might have a long string that begins with 'iso' if you develop on a Windows system.

You can also create a force download script.
