I have a site with a few dynamic pages.
Now the client wants his site on a CD.
So I want to generate static pages for all dynamic pages.
I would like to call newsletter.php?id=1 and save the output in
newsletter_1.php
the latter being a static html file.

This is going to take a while if it is a large site...
Call newsletter.php?id=1, view the source, copy the source, place it into a
blank file, and name it newletter_1.php
Thinking off the cuff you could do this all with a PHP script. Have PHP loop
through each id, open that file, read it, and write it into an appropriately
named file. Pseudo-code follows;
<?php
// do database connection
// query for id's
// loop through id's
while($dataid = mysql_fetch_object($db)){
$filename_to_read = "newsletter.php?id=" . $dataid->id;
$filename_to_write = "newsletter_" . $dataid->id . ".php";
$oldfile = fopen($filename_to_read, "r");
$newfile = fopen($filename_to_write, "w+");
while(!foef($oldfile)){
$thisline = fgets($oldfile, 255);
fputs($newfile, $thisline);
}
}
fclose($filename_to_read);
fclose($filename_to_write);
?>
You may have to open the file that you wish to read and then perform an
eval() on that file so that all of the PHP processes properly. I have not
tested this, just hoping to point you in the right direction.
HTH!
