Capturing output of another script as a string

[jerrygarciuh]

Hello,

I have a client who has decided to output the OO PHP/mySQL site I have made
for them onto a cd.

I realize that $html = include('somefi le.php'); gets 1 for success as its
return value.

In what manner can I access my files so what would be output to the browser
from 'someFile.php?i d=1213'

gets into $someVar as a string so I can write it to a static file for the
CD?

TIA for any advice!!!

This was the ticket:


/*set whatever values will be printed in the template*/
$filename1 = "$host$dir$file ?$q";
/*start the output buffering*/
ob_start();
/*include the tempate file*/
include("$filen ame1");
/*get the contenst of the output buffer*/
$data = ob_get_contents ();
/*write the contents to a file*/
$fp = fopen("cd/test.html","w") ;
fwrite($fp,$dat a);
fclose($fp);
/*clear the output buffer*/
ob_clean();

You can run your script from a command-line browser (Lynx avail. in
linux and Windows), and have the output piped to a file.
