PHP file_put_contents save from php file

Question

I'm trying to get the Html source code from a php file and put it into an Html file using this:

file_put_contents('result.html', file_get_contents('index.php'));

After running this function, The "result.html" will contain the same PHP codes in the original "index.php" file, While I need "result.html" file to get the Html code after index.php has executed. Any Help Please?. Thanks.

Answer 1

Another way (doesn't need an http server nor access to shell):

<?php

ob_start();
include('index.php');
$page = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

file_put_contents('result.html', $page);

?>

Answer 2

You are simply copying php code into html file.

to get html source code you need to interpret php file

one way of doing this is:

file_put_contents('result.html', file_get_contents('http://localhost/path/to/index.php'));

Answer 3

Use this code

file_put_contents('result.html', file_get_contents('http://localhost/yourproject/index.php'));

Answer 4

You can try:

file_put_contents('result.html', shell_exec('php path/to/index.php'));
